The flavor trio that makes scampi—garlic, white wine, and butter—ranks among our favorites. Don’t be afraid to underboil the angel hair here; the pasta will keep cooking in the sauce.
1. Bring a large, straight-sided skillet or pot filled with water to a boil and add 2 tablespoons salt. Add pasta and cook until al dente according to package directions. Drain.
2. Add chicken to a large shallow bowl or plate and season with 1 teaspoon salt and ¼ teaspoon pepper. Sprinkle evenly with ¼ cup flour, tossing until tenders are lightly coated.
3. In the same pan used to cook the pasta, heat 2 tablespoons oil over medium-high. Add chicken in an even layer, working in batches if necessary. Cook until browned and cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Transfer to a large plate.
4. Add remaining 1 tablespoon oil to pan and add bell peppers, onions, and ½ teaspoon salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until slightly softened and browned in places, 5 to 7 minutes. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Transfer pepper mixture to plate with chicken.
5. Heat pan to medium-high. Add 1 tablespoon each butter and flour; whisk to incorporate. Cook until mixture is bubbling and golden, 1 minute. Slowly add wine, whisking constantly until incorporated. Add broth, remaining 7 tablespoons butter, 1 teaspoon salt, ½ teaspoon pepper, and lemon juice. Bring to a simmer and let cook, whisking frequently until slightly thickened, about 5 minutes.
6. Add pasta to pan, tossing with tongs until noodles are completely coated in sauce. (It might seem quite liquidy to start, but in time the pasta will absorb much of the sauce.) Add parsley, chicken, and pepper mixture, plus any accumulated juices from the plate. Toss until combined 7. Garnish with parsley before serving.
