CHICKEN WITH SUN-DRIED TOMATOES AND CAPERS

• Lay the chicken between two pieces of waxed paper and flatten each cutlet with the flat end of a mallet until thin.
• Heat the olive oil in a large, non-stick skillet until hot. While the oil is heating, season the chicken with salt and pepper and dredge it in flour.
• Sauté the chicken over high heat, about 3 minutes on each side. Remove to a warm platter and keep warm.
• Quickly add the chicken broth to the pan and stir with a wooden spoon to release any caramelized bits that may be stuck to the pan.
• Add the tomatoes and cook until the broth has reduced by half. Add the lemon juice and capers.
• Pour the sauce over the chicken, sprinkle with parsley and serve.

RIGATONI PASTA WITH CHICKEN AND SUN-DRIED TOMATOES

Steps:

• Note: if using sun-dried tomatoes in oil (in a jar), make sure to drain sun-dried tomatoes from oil, before using them. Reserve 2 tablespoons of this drained oil for sautéing as described below:
• In a large pan, on high heat, sauté garlic and sun-dried tomatoes (drained from oil) in 2 tablespoons of oil (reserved from the sun-dried tomatoes jar - see note above) for 30 seconds until garlic is fragrant. Add thinly sliced chicken breast, sprinkle with salt and paprika, and cook on high heat for 1 minute on each side. Remove from heat.
• In the mean time, cook rigatoni pasta al dente. Reserve some cooked pasta water. Optionally, you can drain and rinse the rigatoni with cold water (to stop cooking).
• While the rigatoni is cooking, make the pasta cream sauce. Add half and half to the skillet with the chicken. Add 1 tablespoon of basil, at least 1/4 teaspoon of red pepper flakes. Bring to a gentle boil. Add Mozzarella cheese. Immediately reduce to simmer and cook, constantly stirring, until all cheese melts and creamy sauce forms.
• Add capers. Stir to combine. If the sauce is too thick - don't worry - you'll be adding some cooked pasta water soon.
• Add cooked rigatoni to the skillet with the cream sauce, and stir to combine.
• Add about 1/2 cup reserved cooked pasta water because the cream sauce will be too thick (do not add all water at once - you might need less or more of it). This will water down the thickness of the cheese sauce and make it creamier. Immediately, season this creamy chicken rigatoni pasta with salt and more red pepper flakes, to taste, if needed. Let it simmer for a couple of minutes for flavors to combine.
• Note: Make sure to salt the dish just enough to bring out of the flavors of basil and sun-dried tomatoes.
