Lemon Butter Sauce
Place lemon juice and white wine in a saucepan. Place pan over medium heat.
Bring mixture up to a boil. Boil until it is reduced by 1/3. Reduce heat to medium low.
Add cream. Stir to mix well. Simmer until the mixture thickens, about 3 to 4 minutes. Gradually add in butter, stirring constantly until each addition is fully melted.
Taste. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
Remove from heat and keep warm.
Chicken and Pasta
Prepare pasta according to package directions. Drain. Set aside.
Place a chicken breast on a sturdy cutting board. Pound chicken with a kitchen mallet until thin. Repeat with remaining breasts.
Coat each chicken breast in prepared flour mixture.
In a large skillet, add a small amount of oil along with two tablespoons butter. Place skillet over medium high heat.
When oil and butter are hot and shimmering, sauté breasts in the skillet, turning once, until browned and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the pan to a paper towel-covered plate to drain. Keep warm. Leave the skillet, as is, on the stove top.
Add pancetta, mushrooms, artichoke hearts, sun-dried tomatoes and capers to the skillet. Cook until the mushrooms are tender.
Reduce heat to low and add chicken back to the pan.
To Serve
Arrange cooked pasta on each plate.
Add 1/2 - 3/4 prepared Lemon Butter Sauce to chicken mixture. Toss carefully to combine.
Taste and adjust seasoning, adding more sauce, if needed.
Place one or two breasts over pasta on each plate.
Spoon a bit of pan sauce over the pasta.
Sprinkle with grated Parmesan Cheese, to taste
Sprinkle with parsley, to garnish.
Serve hot.
