Savor the bright flavors of tangy lemon and briny capers atop perfectly pan-seared chicken breast paired with al dente whole wheat linguine. This dish bursts with zesty notes and a light, fresh finish for a satisfying meal that’s as nutritious as it is delicious.
INGREDIENTS
5 ounces Chicken Breast (≈140g)
2 ounces dry Whole Wheat Linguine (≈56g)
1 teaspoon Olive Oil (≈5g)
2/3 tablespoon Lemon Juice (≈10g)
2 teaspoons Capers (≈6g)
1 clove Garlic (≈3g)
PREPARATION
Bring a pot of salted water to boil and cook the whole wheat linguine according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside, reserving a splash of pasta water.
While the pasta cooks, pat the chicken breast dry and season both sides lightly with salt and pepper.
Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breast and sear for about 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the pan and let it rest.
In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add the minced garlic. Sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the capers and lemon juice to the skillet, stirring to combine and deglaze the pan. If needed, add a small splash of the reserved pasta water to create a light sauce.
Slice the chicken breast and toss it together with the cooked linguine in a serving bowl. Drizzle the lemon-caper sauce over the top and gently mix to combine all flavors.
Serve immediately and enjoy the zesty, refreshing combination of flavors.
