We really like pasta and chicken together with this being one of our favorite ways to enjoy it. What makes it even better is that it’s simple and is packed with good flavor.
The lemon juice and capers give the chicken and vermicelli a unique taste along with mushrooms and fresh tomatoes rounding it out. It’s good this time of year with the fresh vegetables and the butter certainly helps it also.
This is so good that as soon as you’ve had a couple of helpings and emptied the bowl, you’ll lick the bowl! It’s a great dish that turns out extraordinarily good every time!

3 chicken breasts
8 ounces mushrooms, sliced

Salt and pepper

Meanwhile, in a large pot of boiling salted water, cook the vermicelli according to package directions, until al dente. Drain well.
Grate the lemon zest into a large pasta bowl, being careful not to grate the white pith as it is bitter.
