If fixed as is, this comes out really greasy and fatty to the point of coating your mouth. I now fix the recipe making the following changes to cut the grease: I cut the amount of butter in the sauce in 1/2, only used olive oil in preparing the chicken, dropping the butter out completely because there was plenty in the sauce, trimmed the fat off the bacon and drained off in accumlated grease. I garnish with lemon wedges and Parmesan cheese. I prefer linguini pasta over bowtie because it cooks more evenly.

I followed this recipe exactly and there was way to much lemon. We had 3 people over for dinner last night and not one person liked it! It was not even just a little lemon. The chicken tasted good but once the sauce was on it, it ruined the whole thing. I actually made a creamy cheese sauce to try and eliminate the horrible flavor but even having double the amount of the half of the lemon sauce could not completly mask it. I will never make this again.

This is a fantastic dish but, as others have said, it takes a lot of work. Plan this for a night when you have some time and you won't be disappointed.

OMG -- Amazing! I was skeptical as I tasted the lemon butter sauce while it was cooking and thought Yuck! However, when blended together with the other ingredients -- absolutely fabulous. I was so impressed and so was my 11 year old daughter who really does dislike pretty much all food! She absolutely loved this! While it uses alot of pots and pans and bowls -- so well worth it! I wouldn't change a thing and will definitely make this again and again (the fat content is well worth the delectable taste)!!! Thank you for this recipe!

Really good recipe, although I did doctor it up. I followed previous advice and cut the chicken into pieces before flouring them and cooking them. I reduced my butter by only 2 tbsps, and I used whole milk instead of cream. I also cooked my bacon before adding it in. I thought the recipe had great flavor, it wasn't greasy at all, and we really enjoyed it. I'll definitely be making it again!

This tastes just like one of my favorite recipes at a frequented Italian chain. My grandmother hadn't heard of capers and had only had artichokes a handful of times and raved about this recipe. I added a hint of sugar to blend the lemon.

I made this as the recipe states, but only used artichokes and no other vegetables, and I cut the chicken first and tossed it in a bag with flour. It was soooo delicious. I suppose you could reduce the butter, but I didn't and I thought it was fine. I believe it is impossible to make this in a half an hour though, especially if you have children. You really need to be uninterrupted to make this recipe because there are too many things going on in the pots at once.

I've had this dish or something similar to it in nearly every Italian restaurant. I typed in the words "Lemon, chicken, artichokes, and capers" and found this. It's an excellent rendition of a nameless classic! The only things I did different was to use Angel Hair pasta, pre-cook the bacon to about 3/4 done, and separate the sauce from the pasta and chicken/vegatable mixture to allow people to decide for themselves how much of each to use. 2 out of 3 of us liked it, one said it was too lemony, and we all agreed that it was way too greasy. I'll have to play around with it to change that. Another thing - "10 minutes prep time"!!! Yeah, right...it took me 20 minutes just to prepare and slice the chicken. More like 30 minutes to an hour prep time, depending on experience. All in all, a wonderful dish that needs a lot of tweaking here and there.

This is unbelievable! I followed the recipe exactly and it came out amazing. My husband said this is his new favorite dish I make! I am an intermediate cook and it wasn't hard at all to make! I follwed others advice and cut the chicken into bite size peices first and put them in a ziploc bag and tossed around in the flour. I also cooked the bacon in the microwave then chopped up. 2 thumbs WAY up!

I have a love/hate relationship with this recipe. It has so many delicious ingredients and the final product, after significant recipe alteration, is yummy, but let me start by saying no way is this recipe ready after 30 minutes. No. Way. Impossible. Second, the recipe does not specify whether the bacon should be cooked when you put it in or raw. I opted for mostly cooked in my microwave before I dumped it in the pan-- thank goodness, or either it would have been raw or everything else would be toast. Third, if you make it as the recipe describes, it will be ridiculously greasy. I used about half of the butter and one less T of cream and drained and wiped out the pan not only after cooking the chicken, but after cooking the mushroom mixture as well, but it was STILL greasy! I can only imagine what it would have been like. After all that, it was good, much like the restaurant recipe I think it's trying to replicate (despite the story about the old lady)... It wasn't any harder to make than it sounded, but I could tell it was not a half-hour recipe. Well... I hope that this long recipe review was helpful. The end product was good, but the recipe needs major revisions for it to be tasty and/or match the cooking time.

UrbanChick, I can't tell you how great this one is and how much I appreciate your posting it! I followed the recipe to the letter - It was quick and easy to assemble and it came out just wonderful! It's got enough chicken meat for a carnivore like me, yet lots of other goodies for some of the others here at the ranch. Thanks!

WAY too much butter. It stays in a creamy form while cooking in the sauce pan, but seperates and turn to grease when you pour it in the pasta. Make a alferdo sauce instead.

I would not recommend this recipe to beginners like myself. My boyfriend and I prepared this together and it was a bit overwhelming. We ended up with a passable meal, but we couldn't really taste any lemon flavor (just butter). I might try to make this recipe again because it has a lot of potential. I would use less butter and a bit more lemon. I would also cut the chicken and bacon before starting any of the other steps in this recipe.
