Ingredients

  • Oil, for sauteing chicken
  • 2 tablespoons butter, for sauteing chicken
  • 3 to 5 chicken breasts, (3 ounces each) pounded thin
  • 2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour, seasoned with salt and pepper, for dredging
  • 1/4 cup diced pancetta, cooked
  • 12 ounces mushrooms, sliced
  • 12 ounces artichoke hearts, sliced
  • 1 tablespoon capers
  • Lemon Butter Sauce, recipe follows
  • 1 pound linguini pasta, cooked

Directions

Heat a small amount of oil and 2 tablespoons butter in a large skillet. Dredge chicken in seasoned flour and saute in pan, turning once, until brown and cooked through. Remove chicken from pan. Add remaining ingredients, up to and including the capers, to the pan. Heat until mushrooms soften and are cooked. Add chicken back to pan to reheat and make Lemon Butter sauce.

Lemon Butter Sauce:

3 tablespoons lemon juice

4 ounces white wine

4 ounces heavy cream

1 pound (4 sticks) butter

Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Chopped parsley leaves, for garnish

Heat the lemon juice and white wine in a saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a boil and reduce by one-third. Add cream and simmer until mixture thickens, about 3 to 4 minutes.

Slowly add butter, about 2 tablespoons at a time, until completely incorporated, whisking constantly. Season with salt and pepper. Remove from heat and keep warm.

To serve: Place cooked pasta on each plate. Add half of butter sauce to chicken mixture and toss. Place chicken mixture over pasta. Add more sauce on top of each piece. Garnish with parsley.

    Paula! This is one of my favorite splurge recipes. I had this featured for my rehearsal dinner and only have it once a year or so. Thank you for providing us with such bliss!

    Loved this recipe. I did make a few modifications to the sauce to make it a little less calorie rich-Definitely did not add FOUR sticks of butter, only used half a stick and instead of using only heaving whipping cream I combined it with half and half. I didn't have any white wine so instead I used Marsala wine and half the amount of lemon juice. Dinner was a success!

    Wow! Made this the other night and had a feeling my husband was not going to like it. He loved it, ate too much, and went to bed early. My 5 year old loved it too and she is so, so picky. Definatley a keeper in our house! We live in the sticks, an hour plus, from dallas/ft. worth, and I could not get pancetta. I substituted crispy fried bacon, which is the texas version of pancetta.
