03 Method

Step 1

In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook pasta according to package instructions; drain well.
Step 2

Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper, to taste.
Step 3

Working one at a time, dredge each chicken breast in the flour; shake to remove excess flour.
Step 4

Heat the butter and olive oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Add the chicken and cook, in two batches, until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate.
Step 5

Add the wine, chicken broth and lemon juice to the skillet. Bring to a boil; reduce heat and simmer until reduced by half.
Step 6

Stir in the cream until the sauce thickens, about 1 minute.
Step 7

Season with salt and pepper, to taste. (If the sauce has too much of a tang, try adding more broth or cream.)
Step 8

Stir in the parsley.
Step 9

Serve immediately, with the pasta alongside the chicken, both topped with the sauce and garnished with parsley, if desired.
