2 Cloves Minced Garlic
1 T. Flour

2 T. Fresh Lemon Juice
1/2 C. Heavy Whipping Cream
1/4 C. Capers (Soaked and Rinsed)
1 T. Fresh Italian Parsley - Chopped
Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
Wash and dry chicken breasts. Place a piece of wax paper over each chicken breast and pound flat until 1/4 inch thick. Repeat until all chicken breasts are desired thickness.
Mix flour and Everglades seasoning in a shallow bowl. Dredge each chicken breast in flour mixture.

While chicken is baking prepare angel hair pasta according to package directions. Drain pasta. Return pasta to the pan and pour 1/2 cup remaining sauce over and toss.
