Its relatively simple so I like to serve this when I have company. Add extra veggies if you like and serve with a little crusty bread and you have a complete meal...

Ingredients

Lemon-caper sauce

1 Tbsp. cold water

1 Tbsp. cornstarch or potato flour

1 ¼ c. chicken or vegetable broth (one 10 ½-oz. can)

¼ c. fresh lemon

1 tsp. lemon zest

½ tsp. black pepper

1 Tbsp. capers

chicken and pasta

3 Tbsp. flour

1/8 tsp. black pepper

dash salt

1 lb. boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into 1” strips

2 Tbsp olive oil

2 c. asparagus, cut in 2” pieces (fresh or canned)

2 green onions, cut in 2” inch pieces

1 tsp. minced garlic

8 oz. angel hair pasta

Directions

Begin heating a large pot of water for the pasta.

While the water is coming to a boil, prepare the lemon-caper sauce. In a small bowl or 2-cup measure, stir together the water and cornstarch until smooth. Stir in the remaining sauce ingredients; set aside.

Combine the flour, pepper, and salt in a shallow bowl. Flour the chicken by lightly pressing both sides of each chicken strip into the flour mixture.

Heat 1 Tbsp. of the oil in a large sauté pan over medium-high heat. Cook the chicken strips until they are lightly browned but not cooked through, about 2 minutes each side. Remove chicken from the pan, cover and keep warm.

Heat remaining oil in the pan. Add the asparagus; if fresh, cook for about 3 minutes. Add the green onions and garlic (immediately if asparagus is canned); cook, stirring occasionally, for about 2 minutes.

Stir the lemon-caper sauce and pour it into the skillet; cook, stirring, until the sauce becomes clear and thickens slightly, about 2 minute.

Reduce heat to medium and stir in the chicken. Cover and cook until the chicken is thoroughly cooked, about 8 minutes.

Add pasta to the water when it is boiling, cook until tender; drain well.

Serve chicken, vegetables and sauce over hot pasta.
