Classic Chicken Piccata With Angel Hair Pasta and Lemon-Caper Sauce I have always loved chicken with a good sauce atop of angel hair noodles! Yum! Seeing classic chicken piccata with angel hair and lemon-caper sauce on my Home Chef menu, I knew I had to try it. I’ll start off with the good part; the noodles were a perfect fit for this dish. They balanced well with the sauce and angel hair is thin, so they were light and delicate. Sauteed aromatic shallots, slightly acidic tomatoes, fresh parsley with a salty flavor from the chicken broth and the tartness from the fresh-squeezed lemon juice made a flavorful, bright, but robust sauce which complimented the chicken well. The chicken was tender and lightly seasoned with salt and pepper which was ideal for this dish. Now let’s get to the bad part. The capers. I’ve never had them before, but when I bit into one, I was surprised in a not-so-tasty way. A strong tart flavor exploded in my mouth. It was so unpleasant to me that my face scrunched up involuntarily; kind of like when an uncoated aspirin touches your tongue. I think that the lemon in the sauce brought enough sourness; the capers were unappealing in my opinion. I tried to eat around them, but it didn’t work too well. My husband loved the whole meal, so at least it wasn’t a complete waste. Hey, what can I say? I’m a chef, but I’m also picky. Everything I review won’t get a hundred percent on my deliciousness scale, and I’m ok with that, but I still love you Home Chef! <3 Here’s the recipe: Classic Chicken Piccata with Angel Hair Pasta and Lemon-Caper Sauce.
