By juju45

Ingredients

• 2 TBS extra virgin olive oil
• 1 1/3 lbs chicken tenders
• salt & pepper
• 1 1/2 TBS butter
• 4 cloves
• 2 green onions, chopped
• 2 TBS all purpose flour
• 1/2 cup white wine
• 1 lemon, juiced
• 1 cup chicken broth
• 3 TBS capers, drained
• 1/2 cup parsley, chopped
• 1 lb penne pasta, cooked al dente

Preparation

Step 1

Heat skillet over medium high heat. Add a TBLS oil & chicken to the pan. Season chicken with salt & pepper. Brown chicken until lightly golden all over, about 5 to 6 minutes. Remove chicken from pan and return skillet to heat. Reduce heat to medium. Add another TBLS oil, 1 TBLS butter, garlic and onions to skillet. Saute onions and garlic 3 minutes. Add flour and cook for 2 minutes. Whisk in wine and reduce liquid 1 minute. Whisk lemon juice and broth into sauce. Stir in capers and parsley. When the liquid comes to a bubble, add remaining butter to the sauce to give it a little shine. Add chicken back to the pan and heat through, 1 to 2 minutes. Toss hot pasta with chicken and sauce and serve. Add salt & pepper to taste. Top with snipped chives and parmesan cheese.
