Let me introduce you to your new pasta best friend! Who needs a heavy cream sauce when you have piping hot, thinly sliced parmesan breaded chicken, artichokes, tomatoes, garlic, and capers in a light broth! My chef secret: create your broth in the same pan that you brown your chicken to build the flavors of this fragrant sauce. The fresh garlic, artichokes, tomatoes, and salty capers keep the flavor train going, add a touch of butter and – voila! Once you create such an amazing meal I suggest you reward yourself with a glass of wine. Cheers!
