Before starting, wash and dry all produce. Add 10 cups water and 2 tsp salt to a large pot (use same for 4 ppl). Cover and bring to a boil over high heat. Add linguine to the boiling water. Cook uncovered, stirring occasionally, until tender, 10-12 min. Reserve 1 cup pasta water (dbl for 4 ppl), then drain linguine.

While water come to a boil, peel, then mince or grate garlic. Roughly chop spinach. Zest, then juice lemon. Add capers to a small bowl, then pour over hot water. Stir to combine, then leave to soak, 2 min. Once soaked, drain, then rinse capers.

Prep and cook chicken

Pat chicken dry with paper towels, then season with 1/4 tsp salt (dbl for 4 ppl) and pepper. Add half the flour to a shallow dish. Add chicken to flour mixture, then toss to coat. Heat a large non-stick pan over medium heat. When hot, add 1 tbsp oil, then chicken. (NOTE: Don't overcrowd the pan; cook in 2 batches for 4 ppl, using 1 tbsp oil per batch!) Sear until tenders are golden-brown and cooked through, 3-4 min per side.** Transfer to a plate.

Add 1 tbsp butter (dbl for 4 ppl) to the same pan, then swirl the pan until melted. Add cooking wine and half the garlic. Cook, stirring often, until fragrant, 1-2 min. Add remaining flour. Cook, stirring constantly, until a paste forms, 1 min. Add capers, broth concentrate and reserved pasta water. Bring to a boil. Once boiling, reduce heat to medium-low. Cook, stirring often, until sauce thickens slightly, 2-3 min. Return chicken to the pan with sauce. Cook, stirring often, until chicken is coated with sauce, 1 min. Remove from heat.

While sauce thickens, add 1 tbsp butter (dbl for 4 ppl) to the same large pot (from step 1) over medium-high and swirl to melt. Add remaining garlic. Cook, stirring constantly, until fragrant, 1 min. Add linguine and spinach. Cook, tossing often, until spinach is wilted, 1 min. Add lemon zest. Season with salt and pepper, then toss to combine.
