Method

Chicken Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Season the boneless chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add a tablespoon of olive oil.

  2. 2

    Sear the Chicken

    Once the oil is hot, add the chicken breasts to the skillet. Sear them for about 4-5 minutes on each side, until golden brown. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

  3. 3

    Make the Piccata Sauce

    In the same skillet, add minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Add the capers and artichoke hearts, along with the lemon juice. Stir to combine and cook for another 2 minutes.

  4. 4

    Bake the Chicken

    Return the chicken to the skillet, spoon the sauce over the top, and transfer the skillet to the preheated oven. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through.

Pasta Preparation

  1. 5

    Cook the Pasta

    While the chicken is baking, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1 cup of pasta water, then drain the pasta.

  2. 6

    Make the Sauce

    In a large saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the white wine and bring to a simmer. Allow the mixture to reduce for about 5 minutes.

  3. 7

    Combine Pasta and Sauce

    Add the drained pasta to the saucepan and toss to coat. If the sauce is too thick, add reserved pasta water a little at a time until desired consistency is reached. Stir in grated Parmesan cheese and season with black pepper to taste.
