What's the secret ingredient in these cakes? Pudding mix. It not only adds flavor but it gives the cake a richer, creamier texture. No one will know your secret ingredient!

ingredients
Lemon Butter Sauce
4 ounces lemon juice
2 ounces white wine
4 ounces heavy cream
1 pound butter
Chicken & Pasta
8 (3 ounce size) chicken breasts, pounded thin
oil and butter for sauteing chicken
3/4 cup flour, seasoned with salt and pepper, for dredging
6 ounces pancetta, cooked
12 ounces mushrooms, sliced
12 ounces artichoke hearts, sliced
1 tablespoon capers
1 pound capellini pasta, cooked
chopped fresh parsley, for garnish
directions
To make the sauce: Heat the lemon juice and white wine in a saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a boil and reduce by one-third. Add cream and simmer until mixture thickens (3 to 4 minutes). Slowly add butter until completely incorporated. Season with salt and pepper. Remove from heat and keep warm.
To make chicken and pasta: Cook pasta and drain. Heat a small amount of oil and two tablespoons butter in a large skillet. Dredge chicken in flour and saute in pan, turning once, until brown and cooked through. Remove chicken from pan and add to pan remaining ingredients. Heat until mushrooms soften and are cooked; add chicken back to pan.
To serve: Place cooked pasta on each plate. Add half of butter sauce to chicken mixture and toss. Taste and adjust, adding more sauce if needed. Place chicken mixture over pasta. Garnish with parsley. Alternately, mix pasta and chicken mixture together. Toss with butter sauce.

Pumpkins aren't just for pies or Halloween decorations. These large, orange gourds - while naturally sweet - also work well in savory dishes. They pair well with poultry and pork (and especially bacon) and their creamy-when-cooked texture blends easily into soups.
Ranking #1 in nearly every "favorite cookie" poll, the chocolate chip cookie is pretty much the go-to cookie of choice for both kids and grownups alike.

Very nice. I used the knorr garlic herb sauce as a base. Reduced the wine and lemon juice added the butter sauce and used it. Everything else was the same and it was very close, no better than Mac grills.

This has become one of my favorite meals since I found the recipe. It's really Chicken Piccata with a few additional ingredients. It's easy to make, but not quick. Don't believe the ready in less than 30 minutes thing. There is no way, unless it's one of those situations like on cooking shows where they already have all the ingredients cut/mixed and ready to go. I only make it on weekends. Just some notes on what I do: I use Holland House white cooking wine, because I almost never have real wine on hand. I use garlic salt and white pepper to season the sauce, and garlic salt and lemon pepper to season the flour. I use fresh mushrooms and canned artichoke hearts stored in water only, not "marinated." I also use only fresh parsley, which is inexpensive since it goes so far and can be used in a multitude of dishes. I almost always have it on hand. This will not feed ten people. Making it as listed allows me and my husband to have one dinner and one lunch each. I love this sauce so much that I often double it because I can eat it just poured over pasta.

Loved this recipe. Very close to Macaroni Grill's. I followed the recipe exactly, and used all but about 1/2cup of the sauce. (will use it for shrimp tonight). Very filling and rich. Could feed 6 easy.

I enjoyed this and want to make it again with a little less lemon. I was making it for just me and my husband, so I really reduced the ingredients a lot, but even 2 tablespoons of lemon was a bit much. And I am sure it would be wonderful, but there is no way I could use that much butter, i used half of the butter and added some of the pasta water instead. Definately worth trying again.
