Dinner in 30 minutes! Buttery, lemony chicken piccata pasta is perfect for any weeknight with the family. Fast and delicious.

TORQUISE PLATTER WITH PASTA, CHICKEN, TOMATOES, LEMONS

Why We Love This Recipe

This dish hits all the high notes – buttery, lemony, zesty from the capers, and savory from the pan-seared chicken and blistered tomatoes. It looks like you spent hours in the kitchen. Truth is that it’s ready in 30 minutes.

Ingredients

  • Pasta – I use fettuccini for this recipe because I want pasta that will stand up to the other ingredients.
  • White wine – use any type of white wine you like. I use pinot grigio which is my go-to for white wines. You can also substitute the wine with additional chicken broth.
  • Parmesan cheese – I recommend you using a block of parmesan cheese and shredding it as needed.

Let’s Make Chicken Piccata Pasta

  1. Cook pasta per the box instruction.
  2. Mix salt, pepper, Italian seasoning, and paprika in a small bowl.
  3. Sprinkle spice mixture on both sides of chicken breasts.
  4. Add olive oil to a large skillet and heat to medium.
  5. Add chicken breasts and cook for about 5-7 minutes per side.
  6. Remove chicken from the skillet and place it on a plate covered with 2 layers of paper towel to absorb excess moisture.
  7. In the same skillet add another tablespoon of olive oil, capers, and tomatoes. Cook on medium heat until the tomatoes start to blister and split open.
  8. Add chicken broth, wine, and butter. Bring it to a boil and then reduce it to a simmer.
  9. Cut chicken into bite-sized pieces.
  10. Add the pasta to the skillet with the liquid mixture and toss to coat.
  11. Fold in the parmesan cheese, lemon zest, fresh parsley, and black pepper.
  12. Add the chicken and toss to combine.
  13. Transfer the piccata to a serving dish and drizzle with fresh lemon juice.

Krazy Kitchen Mom Tips

  • Be sure to let the chicken sit for at least 10 minutes on a paper towel-covered plate before cutting it to soak up excess moisture.
  • Substitutions for this recipe:
    • Chicken broth for white wine.
    • Linguini or spaghetti for fettuccine pasta
  • It’s best to prepare the chicken and the blistered tomatoes at the same time the pasta is cooking.
  • For al dente pasta, cook it 1-2 minutes less than the package instructions call for.
