Flatten the chicken breasts using a tenderizing mallet, rolling pin, or similar tool, placing them in a plastic bag to minimize splatter.

Lay out the flattened chicken breasts on foil and season both sides with all-purpose seasoning.

Prepare the flour mixture by adding a couple of spoonfuls of flour to a plate, then season it with all-purpose seasoning, Italian seasoning, and grated Parmesan cheese, mixing well.

Coat each piece of chicken in the flour mixture, ensuring every inch is covered, then set the coated chicken on a separate plate to rest for about 10 minutes.

While the chicken rests, prepare the side dish by boiling salted water in a pot and adding angel hair pasta, which cooks quickly.

Once the pasta is boiling, cook according to the package instructions, usually less than 10 minutes, then drain.

Return the drained pasta to the stove (turned off) and add a drizzle of olive oil and about 2 tablespoons of butter, mixing to coat the noodles.

Season the noodles with Italian seasoning, all-purpose seasoning, salt, pepper, and the juice of half a lemon, mixing well to combine.
