Ingredients
- 1½ lb chicken cutlets
- ¼ cup all-purpose flour
- 3 tbsp butter
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 2 count lemons
- 2 tbsp capers
- 12 oz angel hair pasta
- 1 bunch fresh parsley
- 1 tsp salt
Steps
- Season the cutlets with salt and pepper and dust them with flour. On Sauté, heat the oil and 1 tablespoon butter and brown the chicken 2 minutes per side in batches. Set aside.
- Add the garlic for 30 seconds, then pour in the broth and the juice of 1 lemon, scraping up all the browned bits.
- Return the chicken, cook on HIGH pressure for 4 minutes, then quick release. Boil the pasta meanwhile.
- Move the chicken to a plate. On Sauté, simmer the sauce 2-3 minutes, then stir in the remaining butter, capers, and juice of the second lemon.
- Spoon the sauce over the chicken and pasta and sprinkle with parsley. Leave capers off the kids' plates if they object.
