This dish was delicious. I tried to use healthier ingredients, by using Smart Balance butter and half and half for the sauce. The sauce tasted by itself was overpowering with lemon, but when added to the chicken mixture, it blends in really well. I didn't ladle the sauce onto the pasta, just used what clinged to the meat mixture, so half the sauce was still in the pan when we were done eating and I didn't feel like we ate a ton of butter. The bacon really adds to the flavor and I didn't have capers, but love them so they would have been a great addition.

This was very tasty and definitely company worthy dinner fare. I did all the prep work in the afternoon, so all I had to do was cook everything and this came together in 20 minutes or so. Although I followed the recipe ingredients for the most part, I did reduce the amount of chicken to 2 breasts (1 lb) and I butterflied them (instead of pounding) and then sliced into strips. I also omitted the capers because I couldn't find any in my grocery store. So the first thing I did was render my bacon so it was crispy and removed it from the pan. Then I floured and cooked the chicken and removed that and added the mushrooms and artichoke hearts (would also be very good with hearts of palm). At the end of the cooking time, I added some chopped, fresh Italian parsley. Meanwhile, I prepared the sauce and cooked the pasta; I didn't want to make the sauce too much in advance as I didn't want it to break. Once everything was cooked, I added it all back to the pan along with the pasta, put it in a serving bowl and topped with more parsley. The end result was really delicious - we'll most certainly make it again.

Very good. The recipe seemed a bit overly-complicated, so I streamlined it. It was still very good. I was leary of the lemon, but (for those who might feel the same as I did) I wanted to reassure you that the lemon manages to accent the bacon's flavor... making it tangier than usual, but not so much noticable as lemon.

This is almost exactly like the chicken scallopine that Macaroni Grill makes... which I love. I had found and made this recipe a couple years ago, then I miss placed my copy and have been searching everywhere. I read review to more chicken recipes than I can explain... but found the review that I had seen a couple of years ago and new this was it! AWESOME!

I've made this a few times now, and really love it. I left out the bacon and added artichoke hearts. It's not the best for left overs (gets pretty oily when re-heated) - but it so yummy when fresh.

I don't understand all the high ratings for this recipe. It was visually unappealing, oily and bland (except for the capers which overpowered everything). Not worth the effort it took to make.

This dish is just like the chicken scallopine at Macaroni grill. It was awesome. I recommend to double artichokes and bacon. Also add a little corn starch to sauce to thicken a bit(after you pour half onto chicken.)After I cooked the bacon and set aside I cooked the chicken in half the bacon grease instead of 2T of oil. It gives it great flavor but be sure to let the chicken brown, it's important.Great recipe!!!

Yummy! This was delicious! I used a lot less butter though; 1/2 stick instead of 2 sticks. I also put a little garlic powder in at the end and put in about a third cup of chicken stock I needed to use up. Definitely a keeper. Thanks for the yummy recipe!

WOW! This recipe is superb!! I used purchased bacon bits and used a little chopped sun-dried tomatoes for an extra punch, and it is absolutely fabulous! Tastes like eating out and is well worth the effort for an extra-special meal! Thanks for a great recipe!

This was really delicious, my husband said it was one of the best things I'd ever made. But it takes a long time to make, so don't make it for the first time when you are pressed for time.

For two adults and a baby with leftovers, I halved the chicken and the butter (I am not a halve the butter type of gal, but the whole amount seemed insane) and it was awesome. I tripled the capers, but hey, I like me some capers!

Very Good with some changes. I cut back the lemon juice and heavy cream to 4 tbsps and used about 3/4 a stick of butter instead of two sticks. I think you could easily cut back the butter to a 1/4 cup without compromising the flavor. Even with cutting way back on the butter, this dish was still a little greasy. I did not have cappers or artichoke hearts, so they were not used. I used cooked bacon and cut back the amount of chicken to three breasts. I really liked the lemon flavor and the butter still shined through in this dish. I would make this again but try it with only 1/4 cup butter. It definitly had a restaurant flair about it.

My family and I loved this pasta. Instead of artichokes, I used broccoli and I omitted the capers (dont like) and bacon (didnt have any) and added some grated parmesan to the sauce... but followed the directions for everything else. Great recipe! Thanks for sharing!
