1 lemon (zest and juice)

Season chicken well with lemon pepper and then dab both sides in flour.  Heat oil in a large pan over medium-high heat 1–3 minutes or until shimmering. Add chicken to pan; cook and turn 10 minutes or until chicken is golden brown and centers are no longer pink. Remove chicken from pan; set aside.

Drain grease from pan and add onion; cook 10–20 seconds or until onion is fragrant. Add broth and pasta to pan; bring to a gentle boil and cook, uncovered, 7–8 minutes or until pasta is tender, stirring occasionally.

Add lemon zest, juice and cream cheese to pan; stir until cream cheese is fully incorporated. Add chicken and artichokes to pan. Cook, covered, 1–2 minutes or until heated through. Remove pan from heat; stir in capers. Garnish with parmesan cheese.
