How to make lemon chicken:

Pound chicken breasts to 1/4-inch thickness between 2 pieces of waxed paper. Mix salt, pepper, paprika and flour in a plastic bag; add chicken, one piece at a time, and shake to coat. Place butter and oil in a saute pan or large skillet; heat over medium heat until bubbly. Add garlic and chicken; saute, turning, about 6 minutes or until chicken is brown and fork can be easily inserted. Drain on paper towels and keep warm. Drain all but 2 tablespoons of cooking fat from pan; add wine and deglaze pan, scraping up brown bits. Add lemon juice and heat 1 minute; return chicken to pan; add lemon slices and heat 2 minutes. Add capers and pimento. Sprinkle chives over all.

To serve, add butter to fettuccine and place on platter. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese, top with chicken and pour pan juices over all. Garnish with lemon slices, tomato slices and/or parsley sprigs. Makes 8 servings.
