Chicken Piccata with Angel Hair Pasta
  1. 1

    Assemble all the ingredients.

  2. 2

    In a shallow dish, whisk together the flour, pepper, and paprika. Dredge the chicken in the flour mixture until evenly coated.

  3. 3

    Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the garlic and cook, stirring, until golden and fragrant, about 1 minute; transfer to a plate.

  4. 4

    Melt 2 tablespoons butter in the same skillet. Add the chicken and cook until browned, about 5 minutes per side; transfer to a plate.

  5. 5

    Pour the wine into the hot skillet and bring it to a boil over high heat, scraping the browned bits from the bottom and sides with a wooden spoon. Boil until the wine is reduced by half, about 5 minutes.

  6. 6

    Whisk in the chicken broth, reserved garlic, lemon juice, and capers; cook for 5 minutes.

  7. 7

    Stir in the parsley and the remaining 2 tablespoons butter.

  8. 8

    Reduce the heat to medium, return the chicken to the skillet, and continue cooking until the sauce thickens, about 15 minutes.

  9. 9

    Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook the angel hair pasta in the boiling water, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, 4 to 5 minutes. Drain well.

  10. 10

    Transfer the chicken pieces to a serving dish and drizzle with a few tablespoons of sauce. Add the cooked pasta to the skillet and toss to coat with the remaining sauce. Portion the noodles onto serving plates and top with the chicken.

How easyChef Pro Scores This Recipe

easyChef Pro gives every recipe a health score from 0 to 100, built from more than 30 nutritional parameters including nutrient density, energy density and glycemic impact. It calculates rather than estimates, so the same recipe returns the same score every time.

The number is traceable. You can see exactly which nutrient moved it, so a dish scoring 78 might show fiber pushing it up while sodium pulls it down, alongside the NOVA processing level of each ingredient.

Your health goal changes the calculation itself, not just a filter. easyChef Pro applies clinically derived weighting across six health dimensions, which is why the same dish can score well for one goal and poorly for another.

Swap an ingredient or change the serving size and that math changes with it. Scoring your own version is the only way to see what your kitchen actually produces.
