Instructions

  1. Start boiling a large pot of salted water for the pasta.

  2. Cook pasta until al dente, then drain and keep warm.

  3. In a medium saucepan, combine lemon juice and white wine; bring to a boil and reduce by one-third.

  4. Stir in cream and simmer until thickened, then slowly whisk in butter until smooth. Season with salt and pepper, then keep warm off heat.

  5. Dredge chicken in flour. In a large skillet, heat oil and butter, then sauté chicken until browned and cooked through. Remove chicken and set aside.

  6. To the same skillet, add pancetta, mushrooms, artichoke hearts, and capers; cook until mushrooms are tender. Return the cooked chicken to the pan.

  7. Toss the chicken mixture with half of the prepared butter sauce, then taste and adjust seasoning as needed.

  8. Serve the chicken mixture over individual portions of pasta and garnish with parsley. Alternatively, combine all pasta and chicken, then toss with the butter sauce before serving.
