• 2 Tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
• 1 1/3 pounds chicken breast, cut into 1-inch pieces
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1 1/2 Tbsp butter
• 4 cloves garlic, chopped
• 2 shallots, chopped
• 2 Tbsp all-purpose flour
• 1/2 C white wine
• 1 lemon, juiced
• 1 C chicken broth or stock
• 3 Tbsp green olives, drained
• 1/2 C parsley, chopped
• 1 pound penne pasta, cooked to al dente and drained
Heat a deep nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 Tbsp extra-virgin olive oil and the chicken to the pan. Season chicken with salt and pepper. Brown chicken until lightly golden all over, about 5 to 6 minutes. Remove chicken from pan and return the skillet to the heat. Reduce heat to medium. Add another tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil and 1 Tbsp butter, the garlic and shallots to the skillet. Sauté garlic and shallots for 3 minutes. Add flour and cook 2 minutes. Whisk in wine and reduce liquid for 1 minute. Whisk lemon juice and broth into sauce. Stir in green olives and parsley. When the liquid comes to a bubble, add remaining butter. Add chicken back to the pan and heat for 1 to 2 minutes. Toss hot pasta with chicken and sauce and serve.
