Angel Hair W/Chicken and Artichoke Hearts

This dish is a delightful change of pace from the typical pasta dish. I got this recipe at a Taste of Home Cooking School that I attended. It is so good that I make it every two-three weeks.

• Ready In: 40 mins
• Serves: 4-6

Ingredients

• 3  tablespoons olive oil, divided
• 4  ounces prosciutto, thinly sliced and coarsely chopped
• 6  tablespoons butter, divided (reserve 1 tbsp & cube the remainder)
• 1  tablespoon garlic, minced
• 2  tablespoons capers, rinsed and drained
• 6 1⁄2 ounces artichoke hearts
• 1  cup  Chardonnay wine
• 1  lemon, sliced into 1/4-inch rounds. (remove seeds)
• 1 1⁄4 lbs chicken (cubed)
• 1⁄2 lb angel hair pasta
• 1⁄4 cup parmesan cheese, grated
• 1⁄2 bunch parsley, chopped
•  salt & pepper

Directions

1. Bring salted water to a boil for angel hair pasta. Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in large sauté pan over medium heat, add prosciutto and sauté until lightly brown. Add remaining olive oil, 1 tbsp butter, garlic, capers, artichoke hearts and cook until garlic is fragrant, about 3 minutes.
2. Scrape up any browned bits on pan bottom and add chardonnay to deglaze. Add lemon rounds and simmer over medium heat until liquid is reduced by half. Add remaining butter, stirring over low heat until incorporated. Remove lemon rinds.
3. Place cooked chicken in the sauce to warm through, adding salt and pepper to taste. Meanwhile cook angel hair pasta according to package instructions and drain. Pour chicken and sauce over pasta and sprinkle with parmesan cheese and parsley.
4. Serve immediately with additional parmesan cheese on the side.
