SUNDAY SUPPER

This is from the Food Network website, my first time making it. It got the thumbs up all around!

Chicken Piccata Pasta

2 T olive oil
1 lb chicken (cut into 1 inch pieces)
S & P
1 1/2 T butter
4 cloves garlic, chopped
2 shallots, chopped
2 T flour
1/2 cup white wine
1 lemon, juiced
1 cup chicken broth
3 T capers, drained
1/2 cups parsley, chopped
3/4 lb penne pasta, cooked al dente

Heat a deep non-stick skillet on stove to medium high heat. Add a tablespoon of oil and the chicken, Season with S & P. Brown chicken about 6 minutes. Remove from pan and return the skillet to the heat.

Reduce heat to medium, add another tablespoon of oil and 1 tablespoon of butter, the garlic and shallots. Saute 3 minutes, add the flour and cook 2 minutes. Whisk in wine and reduce liquid 1 minute, add lemon juice and broth. Stir in caper and parsley, when sauce comes to a boil, blend in remaining butter to add shine. Add chicken back to pan and heat through, about 3 minutes. Toss hot pasta with chicken and sauce and serve.

That looks great. I bet my mushroom hating daughter would like this better than she does the Chicken Marsala. I'll have to try it.
