Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 4 servings

  • ¼ cup all-purpose flour

  • 1 teaspoon seasoned salt

  • 1 pound chicken breast tenderloins

  • ¼ cup garlic herb butter

  • ½ (16 ounce) package mostaccioli pasta

  • 2 tablespoons capers

  • 2 teaspoons chicken base

  • ½ cup dry white wine

  • ¼ cup heavy cream

  • 1 medium lemon, juiced

Directions

  1. Place flour and seasoned salt into a zip-top bag; seal and shake to mix. Cut chicken into bite-sized pieces and add to flour mixture. Seal tightly and shake to coat.

  2. Heat a large saute pan over medium-high heat. Add garlic herb butter and swirl to coat. Add chicken; reduce heat to medium and cook, stirring occasionally, until chicken is slightly browned, about 2 minutes.

  3. At the same time, bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add pasta and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 8 minutes.

  4. Meanwhile, stir capers and chicken base into chicken. Cook, stirring often, until flavors have blended, about 2 minutes. Add wine, cream, and lemon juice. Reduce heat to low and cook, stirring occasionally, until thoroughly heated and chicken is no longer pink in the centers, 3 to 4 minutes.

  5. Drain pasta and stir into chicken mixture.

Cook's Note:

You can use penne rigate pasta instead of mostaccioli, and chicken broth instead of white wine.
