CHICKEN CAESAR PASTA (ONE POT!)

Steps:

• Slice each chicken breast in half to create two thinner pieces of equal size. Season each side with lemon pepper seasoning.
• Place the chicken in a freezer Ziploc bag and add ¾ cup of Caesar dressing (save ¼ cup for the pasta sauce). Coat the chicken with the dressing and seal. Refrigerate for 20 minutes (or longer if time allows.)
• Meanwhile, shred the Parmesan cheese and set it aside. It should be at room temp when added to the sauce.
• Take ¼ cup of the Caesar dressing and whisk it with ¾ cup milk. Set it aside, it should also come down to nearly room temp. Don't worry if it's not completely uniform in consistency.
• Heat the oil over medium-high heat in a large high-walled skillet or dutch oven.
• Add the marinated chicken and let it sear, undisrupted, for 4-5 minutes per side. Decrease heat to medium if oil begins to splatter.
• Set the chicken on a plate. Let it rest for 5 minutes, then cut it into strips. Transfer any juice left on the plate back to the pot.
• Reduce the heat to medium and melt the butter. Add the minced garlic. Heat for one minute.
• Add the chicken broth, and use a silicone spatula to "clean" the bottom of the pot. Slowly stir in the milk/Caesar dressing. Bring to a boil.
• Add the angel hair pasta and use kitchen tongs to gently bend the noodles into the pan as they soften. (If preferred, you can also break them in half.)
• Let the pasta simmer for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally to ensure the noodles don't stick together.
• Once the pasta is softened and cooked through, add the capers and decrease heat to low.
• Gradually sprinkle in the Parmesan cheese, use tongs to toss and combine. Add the chicken back to the pan along with the lemon juice. Stir to combine.
• Garnish with freshly chopped parsley. Add freshly cracked pepper and serve.
