Directions

• 1 Before Cooking Bring a medium pot of salted water to a boil Thoroughly rinse produce and pat dry Prepare the Ingredients Quarter mushrooms. Peel and mince shallot. Mince garlic. Zest and halve lemon. Pat chicken breasts dry, and season both sides with ¼ tsp. salt and ¼ tsp. pepper. 2 Make the Scallopine On a separate cutting board, cover chicken breasts with plastic wrap and gently pound to a uniform thickness of ½". 3 Cook the Pasta Add pasta to boiling water and cook until al dente, 3-5 minutes. Capellini is especially thin and cooks faster than traditional spaghetti. Reserve ½ cup pasta water and drain in a wire-mesh strainer. 4 Cook the Chicken Heat a medium non-stick pan over medium heat and add 1 Tbsp. olive oil. Add chicken to hot pan and cook undisturbed until browned, 5-6 minutes. Flip, and cook until chicken reaches a minimum internal temperature of 165 degrees, 4-5 minutes. Transfer chicken to a plate. Reserve pan; no need to wipe clean. 5 Make the Shallot-Mushroom Cream Return pan used to cook chicken to medium-high heat and add 2 tsp. olive oil. Add mushrooms to hot pan and cook 1 minute. Add shallots and garlic and cook until fragrant, 30 seconds. Add white wine, squeeze juice of half the lemon, and cook until liquid is mostly reduced, 1-2 minutes. Add cream and ½ cup reserved pasta water. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer, and cook until sauce is reduced by half, 4-6 minutes. Remove from burner and stir in half the Parmesan (reserve remaining for garnish). 6 Plate the Dish Return pasta to pot, add sauce, and toss to coat. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Slice chicken if desired. Place sauced pasta on a plate. Add chicken and garnish with remaining Parmesan, lemon zest, and a squeeze of remaining lemon, if desired.
