This one-pan, Italian-American favorite gets its bold personality from capers and lemon, which bring just the right amount of bright, briny flavor. Here, they make a sauce for dressing up spaghetti and chicken, while roasted tomatoes add a deeply savory dimension.

Heating Instructions
Ingredients:
- 1.5 oz. Capers
- 1 pkt. Parsley
- 1 Lemon
- 2 – 4 Garlic Cloves
- 1 cntr. Chicken Breasts
- 1.5 oz. Flour
- 1 stick Butter
- 8 oz. Chicken Stock
- 7 oz. Spaghetti
- 1 cntr. Tomatoes
Wash and dry the fresh produce. Rinse the capers thoroughly to remove the sharp vinegar taste. Finely chop the parsley. Zest the lemon into the chopped parsley then cut the lemon in half. Smash the garlic cloves. 2. Cook Chicken
Generously season each chicken breast with salt on both sides. Pour the flour onto a clean plate. Dredge the seasoned chicken breasts in flour. Heat a large straight-sided pan over medium-high heat. (This type of pan is recommended, since the intention is to cook the meal using only one pot.) Add 2 tablespoons of olive oil and swirl to coat pan. Shake off any excess flour from the chicken breasts. When the oil begins to shimmer, place the chicken in the hot pan. Cook the chicken, approximately 2 – 3 minutes on each side, until golden brown and cooked through.* Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of the chicken has reached 155°F - 160°F. Remove the chicken breasts from the pan and set aside to rest. As it rests, the temperature of the chicken will continue to rise, ideally to a temperature of 165°F. 3. Cook Pasta
To the same pan, add ½ stick of butter (you will have extra), chicken stock, 2 cups of water, smashed garlic, rinsed capers, lemon halves, and spaghetti. Season with salt. Simmer for 12 - 15 minutes, over medium-high heat until pasta is al dente. Remove the lemon halves and squeeze the juice through a strainer. Add the chopped parsley, lemon zest, and tomatoes and toss to incorporate. 4. Plate and Serve
Divide the pasta evenly between 2 plates. Slice chicken breasts and place on top of the pasta. Drizzle the chicken with the extra pan sauce. *The USDA recommends cooking poultry to a minimum internal temperature of 165°F.

What Makes a Product Top-Rated?
Our food experts review our entire stock of fruit, vegetables, and seafood on a daily basis, taking notes and ranking each product. Only the best of the best receive our "Top-Rated" designation.

ABOUT TYING
ABOUT OUR PACKAGING


Standard PackagingA Styrofoam tray that is sealed in plastic — rigid enough to stack in the fridge, and free of charge. Meat in standard packaging is best when eaten within 3 days (stored at a refrigerator temperature of 38 degrees). For optimal freezing we recommend vacuum packaging.

Vacuum PackagingThis sturdy, airtight plastic pouch will protect and prolong the life of your order. It is perfect for freezing. With the seal intact, vacuum-packed meat will keep for up to 9 months in your freezer. For your convenience, each roast is individually vacuum packed; when meat is sold as a chop, steak or by the pound, your meat will be vacuum-packed based on minimum quantity. For example, if the minimum quantity of chops is two, your chops will arrive in vacuum-packs of two.
NOTE: Always check the "use or freeze by" date on your product label.
ESTIMATED WEIGHT
While shopping, and prior to day of your delivery, you will see in your cart an estimated weight and price for variable weight items which are priced by the pound. On the day of your delivery, your actual variable items are prepared by weighing each item to determine the final price you see on your receipt. Please note that actual weight will vary from the estimated weight due to seasonality, source, and country of origin.
ABOUT OUR HEAT INDEX
We've developed this Heat Index to give you an approximation of how spicy a particular dish tastes. Keep in mind that people tolerate chili heat in very different ways, so this scale may not reflect your individual experience with a dish.*
NO HEATThere's no heat here — safe for the kids.
MINOR HEATExpect no more than a little tingle on the tongue.
SUBTLE HEATOne might describe this dish as "peppery."
MEDIUM HEATA spicy warmth that builds as you eat and lingers a while.
STRONG HEATThis dish has kick — keep a cool beverage on hand.
FIERY HEATYour eyes will water. Your nose will run. You've been warned.
*Note for sensitive palates: Heat ratings are never guaranteed! Due to unpredictable environmental variations that range from rainfall to chance genetic changeability, chili spice often differs. Even two identical-looking jalapeños can pack two very different heat levels.
