Cooking Instructions

1. Prepare the Chicken

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Set up a breading station with three plates: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with breadcrumbs.

2. Bread the Chicken

Coat each chicken breast in flour, then dip in the beaten eggs, and finally coat with breadcrumbs. Place the breaded chicken on a baking sheet.

3. Bake the Chicken

Bake the chicken in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and golden brown.

4. Cook the Fettuccini

While the chicken is baking, cook the fettuccini according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.

5. Make the Lemon Caper Butter Sauce

In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Add lemon juice and capers, stirring to combine. Simmer for 2-3 minutes.

6. Serve

Place a serving of fettuccini on a plate, top with a baked chicken breast, and drizzle with lemon caper butter sauce. Garnish with chopped parsley.
