Time 55m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 13

⅓ cup all-purpose flour
¼ teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
¼ teaspoon paprika
1 pound skinless, boneless chicken breast halves, pounded thin and cut into 2-inch pieces
2 tablespoons olive oil

¼ cup butter, divided

Steps:

  • Whisk together flour, black pepper, and paprika in a shallow dish. Dredge the chicken pieces in the flour mixture, coating evenly; set aside.

Angel hair pasta with chicken is a classic, delicious meal that many people love. It's easy to make, and the ingredients are relatively simple. Here are some valuable tips to keep in mind when making angel hair pasta with chicken recipes.

Tip #1: Choose Quality Ingredients

One of the keys to making a delicious angel hair pasta with chicken recipe is to use quality ingredients. This means using fresh chicken, high-quality pasta, and fresh herbs and spices. Using fresh ingredients will ensure that your dish tastes great, and it will also make it healthier.

Tip #2: Season Your Chicken

When cooking chicken, it's important to season it well. You can do this with a simple mixture of salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Or, you can use a pre-made seasoning blend that you like. Whatever you do, don't skip seasoning your chicken. This will add flavor to your dish and make it more enjoyable to eat.

Tip #3: Cook Your Chicken Thoroughly

When cooking chicken, it's important to cook it thoroughly. Undercooked chicken can be dangerous for your health, and it can also affect the taste of your dish. Make sure that the internal temperature of your chicken reaches at least 165 degrees Fahrenheit before serving.

Tip #4: Keep Your Pasta Al Dente

Angel hair pasta cooks quickly, so it's important to keep an eye on it. You want to cook your pasta until it's al dente, which means that it still has a slight bite to it. Overcooked pasta will be mushy and unappetizing. To ensure that your pasta is cooked perfectly, start checking it a few minutes before the recommended cook time.

Tip #5: Don't Overcrowd Your Pan

When cooking the chicken, it's important not to overcrowd your pan. If you put too much chicken in at once, it won't cook evenly. This can result in some pieces being overcooked and others being undercooked. It's better to cook your chicken in batches, so that each piece has room to cook evenly.

Tip #6: Flavor Your Sauce

Angel hair pasta with chicken is all about the sauce. To make a delicious sauce, it's important to flavor it well. You can do this with fresh herbs, like basil or parsley, or with spices like red pepper flakes or paprika. Don't be afraid to experiment with different flavors to find what you like best.

Tip #7: Add Some Vegetables

To make your angel hair pasta with chicken recipe even healthier and more delicious, consider adding some vegetables. You can sauté some bell peppers, onions, or zucchini, and add them to your pasta and chicken. This will add some extra nutrition and flavor to your dish.

Tip #8: Let Your Chicken Rest

After cooking your chicken, it's important to let it rest for a few minutes before serving. This will allow the juices to redistribute, and it will make your chicken more tender and juicy. Don't rush to serve your chicken right away – let it rest for a few minutes first.
Conclusion
Angel hair pasta with chicken is a classic and delicious meal that many people love. By following these valuable tips, you can make sure that your dish turns out perfectly every time. Remember to use quality ingredients, season your chicken, cook it thoroughly, keep your pasta al dente, don't overcrowd your pan, flavor your sauce, add some vegetables, and let your chicken rest. With these tips in mind, you'll be able to make a delicious and healthy meal that your family and friends will love.
