Creamy Lemon Chicken Piccata Pasta in VitaClay

Another family dinner favorite is here! Tender garlic-seasoned chicken, pasta, a creamy lemon sauce, and savory capers come together in a comforting meal.

Brown the chicken first for extra flavor, then bring the ingredients together in your VitaClay. Finish with fresh lemon and cream for a dinner worth gathering around.

Ingredients

  • 2 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut in half lengthwise
  • ¼ cup flour
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt, plus more to taste
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper, plus more to taste
  • 6 ounces linguine, thin spaghetti, or your favorite pasta
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • ½ cup heavy cream
  • Juice of 1 lemon, approximately 4 tablespoons
  • ¼ cup capers
  • Oil, for browning the chicken
  • Lemon slices and fresh thyme, optional, for serving

Directions

1. Season the chicken

Whisk together the flour, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Coat both sides of the chicken in the flour mixture.

2. Brown the chicken

Drizzle a large skillet with oil and heat over medium-high heat. Brown the chicken for 1–2 minutes per side. It does not need to be fully cooked at this stage.

3. Add to the clay pot

Place the chicken in the clay pot in a single layer. Add the pasta and pour the chicken broth over the top.

Check that the liquid amount meets the requirements for your VitaClay model before cooking. Use a tested recipe for your model; do not allow the pot to cook dry.

4. Cook

Cover and selectStew, following the tested cooking time for your model. Check the liquid and pasta during cooking.

5. Finish the sauce

Stir in the lemon juice, heavy cream, and capers. Continue cooking until the pasta is tender, the sauce is hot, and the chicken reaches an internal temperature of165°F (74°C).

Taste and adjust the salt and pepper.

6. Serve

Serve warm with additional lemon slices and fresh thyme, if desired.

Make It Your Own

  • Try linguine, thin spaghetti, or another favorite pasta.
  • Add lemon gradually and adjust to your taste.
  • Finish with freshly chopped herbs for a little color and freshness.
