Lemon Butter Sauce:
4 oz lemon juice
2 oz white wine
4 oz heavy cream
1 lb (4 sticks) butter
6 to 8 (3 oz) chicken breasts, pounded thin
oil and butter for sautéing chicken
1/2 to 3/4 cup flour, seasoned with salt and pepper, for dredging
6 oz pancetta, cooked
12 oz mushrooms, sliced
12 oz artichoke hearts, sliced
1 Tbsp capers
1 lb Capellini pasta, cooked
chopped parsley, for garnish
To make the sauce: Heat the lemon juice and white wine in a saucepan
over medium heat. Bring to a boil and reduce by 1/3. Add cream and
simmer until mixture thickens (3 to 4 minutes). Slowly add butter
until completely incorporated. Season with salt and pepper. Remove
from heat and keep warm.
To make chicken and pasta: Cook pasta and drain. Heat a small amount
of oil and 2 T of butter in a large skillet. Dredge chicken in flour
and sauté in pan, turning once, until brown and cooked through.
Remove chicken from pan and add to pan remaining ingredients. Heat
until mushrooms soften and are cooked; add chicken back to pan.
To serve: Place cooked pasta on each plate. Add half of butter sauce
to chicken mixture and toss. Taste and adjust, adding more sauce if
needed. Place chicken mixture over pasta. Garnish with parsley.
Alternately, mix pasta and chicken mixture together. Toss with
butter sauce.
