Instructions

Bring a large pot of salted water to boil for the pasta.

Meanwhile, pound chicken breasts to even 1/2-inch thickness.

Mix flour, salt, and pepper on a shallow plate.

Dredge chicken breasts in seasoned flour, shaking off excess.

Heat 2 tablespoons butter and olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

Cook chicken until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per side.

Transfer chicken to a plate and keep warm.

In the same skillet, add shallot and garlic, sautéing until fragrant.

Add white wine to deglaze pan, scraping up browned bits.

Cook until wine is reduced by half, about 2 minutes.

Add lemon juice, chicken broth, capers, and bay leaf.

Simmer sauce for 5 minutes to reduce slightly.

Meanwhile, cook pasta according to package directions until al dente.

Remove bay leaf from sauce and stir in heavy cream and dijon mustard.

Simmer for 2-3 minutes until sauce begins to thicken.

Return chicken to the skillet and simmer for 2 minutes to reheat.

Add remaining 2 tablespoons butter to sauce and stir until melted.

Drain pasta and toss with 2 tablespoons butter and 1/4 cup Parmesan.

Add fresh herbs, lemon zest, and red pepper flakes to pasta and toss.

To assemble, place herbed pasta in bowls as the base.

Top with sautéed spinach and halved cherry tomatoes.

Place chicken breast on top and generously spoon creamy piccata sauce over.

Garnish with additional Parmesan, fresh herbs, and lemon slices.

Add sliced avocado and feta cheese if desired.

Serve immediately while sauce is hot and creamy.
