Number Of Ingredients 13

1/2 package(s) (7 to 8 oz.) whole-wheat angel hair pasta
4 - thin-sliced chicken breasts - or - cutlets (about 1 pound)
1/2 teaspoon(s) garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon(s) salt, divided
1/2 teaspoon(s) freshly ground pepper, divided
1/4 cup(s) all purpose flour
3 tablespoon(s) extra-virgin olive oil, divided
1 large shallot, finely chopped
1/2 cup(s) dry white wine
1/2 cup(s) water
1/4 cup(s) reduced-fat sour cream
2 tablespoon(s) dijon mustard
2 tablespoon(s) chopped fresh sage, plus more for garnish

Steps:

  • Bring a large saucepan of water to a boil. Add pasta and cook according to package directions; drain.
  • Sprinkle chicken with garlic powder and 1/4 tsp. each salt and pepper. Place flour in a shallow bowl and coat both sides of the chicken, shaking off any excess. Reserve 2 tsp. flour; discard the rest.
  • Heat 2 Tbsp. oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the chicken, turning once, until golden brown and cooked through, 5 minutes per side. Transfer to a clean plate.
  • Reduce heat to medium and add the remaining 1 Tbsp. oil to the pan. Add shallot and cook, stirring, until beginning to brown, about 1 minute. Add the wine and cook, stirring occasionally, for 1 minute. Combine water with the reserved 2 tsp. flour. Add to the pan and cook, stirring, until thickened, about 1 minute. Remove from the heat; stir in sour cream, mustard, 2 Tbsp. sage and the remaining 1/4 tsp. each salt and pepper. Return the chicken to the pan and turn to coat with the sauce.
  • Top the pasta with half the sauce, the chicken, and then the remaining sauce. Garnish with some more sage, if desired.
