20 Minutes & Dinner is DONE!

Wow.  Just, wow.  Today was crazy busy.  I needed something fast, something easy and something delicious since we got home much later than usual.  I made spaghetti last night and as always made WAY to many noodles.  Never fails.  So with that on hand, I turned to my tasty lemon chicken recipe.  Here's what you will need to make this fantastic meal:
  • 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts (cut in half lengthwise to make 4 thin breasts)
  • salt and pepper
  • 1 cup flour
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1/2 cup white wine
  • 2 lemons (juice 1.5 lemons and use the other 1/2 lemon to slice and garnish)
  • 3/4 stick butter, room temp
  • small handful capers, drained
  • 1/2 pound spaghetti noodles, cooked (or in my case, whatever you have leftover from the night before)
  • parmesan cheese
Sprinkle your chicken breasts with salt and pepper, and then dredge in flour. Heat your skillet to medium high heat.  Toss in the olive oil, let that heat up quick and then gently lay your chicken breasts in the oil.  Let them go for about 5 minutes and then flip.  After about 4 minutes add the white wine and lemon juice and turn the heat down to a medium.  Let that simmer and reduce for about 5 minutes and then remove your chicken breasts to a plate. Turn the heat off completely but keep your pan on the stove and add butter.  Let that melt into a sauce, stirring frequently, add your noodles and capers and then add back the chicken breasts.  Sprinkle with parmesan cheese and prepare to fall in love.  Seriously.
