Spoonacular is a recipe search engine that sources recipes from across the web. We do our best to find recipes suitable for many diets — whether vegetarian, vegan, gluten free, dairy free, etc. — but we cannot guarantee that a recipe's ingredients are safe for your diet. Always read ingredient lists from the original source (follow the link from the "Instructions" field) in case an ingredient has been incorrectly extracted from the original source or has been labeled incorrectly in any way. Moreover, it is important that you always read the labels on every product you buy to see if the product could cause an allergic reaction or if it conflicts with your personal or religious beliefs. If you are still not sure after reading the label, contact the manufacturer.
We also attempt to estimate the cost and calculate the nutritional information for the recipes found on our site. Again, we cannot guarantee the accuracy of this information. Additionally, our nutrition visualizer that suggests that you limit sodium, sugar, etc., and get enough protein, vitamins, and minerals is not intended as medical advice. Similarly, our health tips are based on articles we have read from various sources across the web, and are not based on any medical training. The team behind spoonacular does not possess any medical qualifications and the information may be found to be incorrect or out of date based on future research. If you need help planning your diet or determining which foods (and recipes) are safe for you, contact a registered dietitian, allergist, or another medical professional.

Instructions
- Place cup of flour in a shallow dish.
- Using a sharp knife, slice chicken breast in half.
- Place a piece of wax paper on top of each piece of chicken and pound with a kitchen mallet until it is about inch thin.
- Season the chicken well with salt and pepper. Take the chicken and roll it into the flour, using your fingers to assist in adhering it to the meat. Carefully shake off excess flour. Repeat with second piece of chicken.
- In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons olive oil over medium heat. Slide chicken into the skillet and saute on each side until it becomes golden brown, about 3-4 minutes each side. Once chicken is done, transfer to a clean plate and tent with a sheet of aluminum foil.
- Begin boiling the pasta.
- Using the same skillet, add remaining olive oil and saute garlic until it becomes aromatic but not browned.
- Add chili flakes, capers, lemon juice, lemon slices, zest, and chicken broth.
- Use a wooden spoon to scrape off the tasty brown bits from the bottom of the skillet.
- Raise the temperature to medium high heat and allow the liquid to reduce by almost half.
- While the liquid is reducing, use a fork to mash together remaining 1 tablespoon of flour and butter in a small bowl. Whisk it into the reducing liquid and allow to cook for 1-2 minutes. Be sure to whisk out any lumps of flour. Check for seasonings and adjust with salt/pepper accordingly.
- Drain the cooked pasta.
- Toss the pasta in the lemon caper sauce, tomatoes, and basil, reserving a few spoonfuls of sauce. Check for seasonings and adjust with salt/pepper accordingly.
- Plate pasta and top each with a piece of chicken. Spoon extra lemon caper sauce over the chicken and pasta. Serve immediately.
