Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves
  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken thighs
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 red bell pepper, cored, seeded, and sliced
  • 1 yellow bell pepper, cored, seeded, and sliced
  • 3 ounces prosciutto, chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves, chopped
  • 1 (14.5-ounce) can diced tomatoes, with juice
  • 1/2 cup dry white wine
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme
  • 1 teaspoon chopped fresh oregano
  • 1/2 cup low-sodium chicken broth
  • 1 1/2 pounds fresh fettuccine
  • 2 tablespoons drained capers
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley

Method

  • Heat the oil in a large, heavy skillet over medium-high heat.
  • Sprinkle the chicken with salt and pepper.
  • Cook the chicken until brown on both sides, about 4 minutes per side.
  • Remove from the pan and set aside.
  • Keeping the same pan over medium heat, add the bell peppers and prosciutto and cook until the peppers have browned and the prosciutto is crisp, about 5 minutes.
  • Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute.
  • Add the tomatoes and their juice, wine, thyme, and oregano.
  • Using a wooden spoon, scrape the brown bits off the bottom of the pan.
  • Return the chicken to the pan, add the broth, and bring the mixture to a boil.
  • Reduce the heat, cover, and simmer until the chicken is cooked through, 20 to 30 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat.
  • Add the fresh pasta, stir, and cook until tender, about 1 minute.
  • Drain.
  • Remove the chicken and let it cool slightly on a cutting board.
  • Using a fork and knife, gently shred the chicken.
  • Return the chicken to the pan.
  • Stir in the capers and parsley.
  • To serve, spoon the pasta into serving dishes and top with the chicken and sauce.
