Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Place flour and seasoned salt into a zip-top bag; seal and shake to mix. Cut chicken into bite-sized pieces and add to flour mixture. Seal tightly and shake to coat.

Step 2

Heat a large saute pan over medium-high heat. Add garlic herb butter and swirl to coat. Add chicken; reduce heat to medium and cook, stirring occasionally, until chicken is slightly browned, about 2 minutes.

Step 3

At the same time, bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add pasta and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 8 minutes.

Step 4

Meanwhile, stir capers and chicken base into chicken. Cook, stirring often, until flavors have blended, about 2 minutes. Add wine, cream, and lemon juice. Reduce heat to low and cook, stirring occasionally, until thoroughly heated and chicken is no longer pink in the centers, 3 to 4 minutes.

Step 5

Drain pasta and stir into chicken mixture.
