What's a yummy/easy recipe for a chicken pasta dish?

I have about 2 chicken breasts cut up and some angel hair pasta. I also have the essentials for cooking, but nothing fancy. What is a yummy pasta dish I can make?What's a yummy/easy recipe for a chicken pasta dish?
Chicken Piccata!


I just made this tonight. Wonderful and simple.


Here is the recipe:





You'll Need:


* 2 Chicken Breasts (I cut them up into smaller pieces, but you can leave them whole)


* All-purpose flour, for dredging


* Extra-virgin olive oil


* 1/3 cup fresh lemon juice


* 1/2 cup chicken stock


* 1/4 cup brined capers, rinsed


* 1/3 cup fresh parsley, chopped





Season chicken with salt and pepper. Dredge chicken in flour and shake off excess.





In a large skillet over medium high heat, heat olive oil until it starts to sizzle. Add chicken and cook for 3 minutes. When chicken is browned, flip and cook other side for 3 minutes. Remove and transfer to plate.





Into the pan add the lemon juice, stock and capers. Return to stove and bring to boil, scraping up brown bits from the pan for extra flavor. Check for seasoning. Return all the chicken to the pan and simmer for 5 minutes. Remove chicken to platter. Add a tsp more olive oil to sauce and whisk vigorously. Pour sauce over chicken and garnish with parsley.





I actually doubled the sauce recipe so I would have more for the angel hair pasta! Enjoy!What's a yummy/easy recipe for a chicken pasta dish?
