Directions
- Season chicken with salt and pepper. Dredge in flour and shake off excess. Discard flour.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 2 pieces of chicken and cook for 3 minutes. When chicken is browned, flip and cook other side for 3 minutes. Remove and transfer to plate. Repeat with remaining 2 pieces of chicken.
- In the same pan, add shallot and garlic and sauté until fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes. Add lemon zest and juice, broth and capers. Bring to a boil, scraping up brown bits from the pan for extra flavor.
- Return the chicken to the pan and simmer for 5 minutes. Remove chicken to a plate.
- For the sauce, add butter to the pan and whisk vigorously. Add cherry tomatoes just to heat through. Season with salt and pepper.
- Place pasta on a large platter, top with the chicken and pour the sauce over the top; garnish with parsley and Parmesan cheese.
