Chicken Piccata with Capers and Mushrooms Recipe


We made this for dinner last night and it was DELICIOUS...I thought about it last night and could not wait to have it for my first meal of the day! I got the original recipe from eating well. but changed a few things to make it a little healthier! You must try this tonight...you will love it!

Ingredients:
6 ounces whole-dream fields pasta
5 teaspoons all-purpose flour,
2 cups reduced-sodium chicken broth
1/2 teaspoon salt, divided
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
4 chicken cutlets (3/4-1 pound total), trimmed
3 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
1 10-ounce package mushrooms, sliced (I used baby portobella)
3 large cloves garlic, minced
1/2 cup white wine
2 tablespoons lemon juice (I just used the juice from 1 whole lemon)
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley (I did not use and was still GREAT)
2 tablespoons capers, rinsed
1 teaspoons butter
Directions:
Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add pasta and cook until just tender, 4 to 6 minutes or according to package directions. Drain and rinse.
Meanwhile, whisk 5 teaspoons flour and broth in a small bowl until smooth. Season chicken with 1/4 teaspoon salt and pepper. Heat 2 teaspoons oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken and cook until browned and no longer pink in the middle, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate; keep warm.
Heat the remaining 1 teaspoon oil in the pan over medium-high heat. Add mushrooms and cook, stirring, until they release their juices and begin to brown, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a plate. Add garlic and wine to the pan and cook until reduced by half, 1 to 2 minutes. Stir in the reserved broth-flour mixture, lemon juice and the remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt. Bring to a simmer and cook, stirring, until the sauce is thickened, about 5 minutes.
Stir in parsley, capers, butter and the reserved mushrooms. Measure out 1/2 cup of the mushroom sauce. Toss the pasta in the pan with the remaining sauce. Serve the pasta topped with the chicken and the reserved sauce.
