One-Pot Chicken Piccata & Mushroom Pasta
The chicken is crispy and tender, the pasta is creamy with lemon zest and parmesan, and the shiitake mushrooms balance it out with its earthy notes.
Ingredients
For the Chicken:
- 2 Chicken Breasts, boneless & skinless
- 1/3 cup Flour
- 3 tbsp. Dried Italian Herb Seasoning
- 1 tbsp. Batistini Farms USDA Organic Classic 100% Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- 1 tsp. Salt
- 1 tsp. Black Pepper
Other Ingredients:
- 1 17.6-oz bag of Batistini Farms USDA Organic Ancient Tuscan Grain Pasta
- 1 tbsp. Batistini Farms USDA Organic Classic 100% Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- 10 Fresh Sage Leaves
- 1/2 cup Dry White Wine, like Sauvignon blanc
- 1/4 cup Lemon Juice
- 3 tbsp. Capers
- 16 oz. Mushrooms, quartered
- 2 Garlic Cloves, minced
- 3/4 cup Parmesan Cheese, shredded or grated
Instructions
- Cook the pasta according to package directions, about 10 minutes in salted boiling water. Reserve 1/2 cup pasta water, then drain and set aside. (Optional: Toss with olive oil to keep the pasta from naturally sticking together.)
- In a large pan over medium high heat, add the tablespoon of olive oil to heat up until sizzling, about 1 minute.
- In the meantime, mix together the flour, dried herbs, salt, and black pepper in a large bowl. Add the chicken, then toss to coat.
- Add the seasoned chicken into the hot oil to sear on each side for 2-3 minutes, or brown and crispy. Transfer to a separate plate.
- In the same pot, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Add the sage leaves to sear until crisp, about 1-2 minutes. Place on the same plate as the chicken.
- In the same pot, add the mushrooms and minced to sauté in the leftover olive oil for 4 minutes.
- Stir in the pasta water, white wine, capers, lemon juice, and grated parmesan.
- Add the chicken and sage back into the pot, then cover until fully cooked, about 10 minutes.
- Once last time, remove the chicken to a separate plate, then slicing into bite-sized pieces.
- Add in the cooked pasta into the pot to coat well in the sauce, then top with sliced chicken piccata. Enjoy warm!
