Ingredients

  • 6 ounces fettuccine
  • ¼ cup all-purpose flour
  • ½ teaspoon lemon-pepper seasoning
  • 1 pound chicken breasts, cut into four 1/2-inch thick pieces
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/3 cup white wine
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons water
  • ½ teaspoon chicken bouillon granules
  • 1 tablespoon capers, rinsed and drained (Optional)
  • ½ lemon, cut into wedges, or as desired (Optional)
  • 4 sprigs fresh parsley, or as desired (Optional)

Directions

Step 1
Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil. Stir in the fettuccine, bring back to a boil, and cook pasta over medium heat until cooked through but still firm to the bite, about 8 minutes. Drain.

Step 2
Whisk flour and lemon-pepper seasoning together in a shallow bowl; dredge chicken through mixture until evenly coated, shaking excess back into bowl.

Step 3
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat; cook chicken until light golden brown and no longer pink in the center, 6 to 10 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Transfer chicken to a plate, retaining oil mixture in the skillet.

Step 4
Mix white wine, lemon juice, water, and chicken bouillon granules into oil mixture in the skillet. Bring liquid to a boil while scraping the browned bits of food off of the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon until sauce is slightly reduced, 2 to 4 minutes. Stir capers into sauce.

Step 5
Divide pasta among serving plates; top with chicken. Spoon sauce over chicken and garnish with lemon wedges and parsley.

Cook’s Notes:

Turkey breast tenderloins can be used in place of chicken. Linguine can be used in place of fettuccine. Cooking oil can be used in place of olive oil.
