Chicken French (Rochester, NY Style)

Ingredients

• all-purpose flour (0.25 cup)
• salt (0 )
• black pepper (0 )
• eggs (2 large)
• white sugar (1 tablespoon)
• grated Parmesan cheese (1 tablespoon)
• olive oil (2 tablespoons)
• skinless, boneless chicken breast halves (4 )
• butter (0.25 cup)
• minced garlic (2 teaspoons)
• dry sherry (0.25 cup)
• lemon juice (0.25 cup)
• low-sodium chicken base (2 teaspoons)

Instructions

1. Mix together flour, salt, and pepper in a shallow bowl. Whisk beaten eggs, sugar, and Parmesan cheese in another bowl until the mixture is thoroughly blended and the sugar has dissolved.
2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat until the oil shimmers. Dip chicken breasts into the flour mixture, then into the egg mixture, and gently lay them into the skillet. Pan-fry chicken breasts until golden brown and no longer pink in the middle, about 6 minutes on each side. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
3. In the same skillet over medium-low heat, melt butter, and stir in garlic. Add sherry, lemon juice, and chicken base. Bring the sauce to a simmer, and stir until smooth and slightly thickened, about 5 minutes. Be sure to dissolve any brown flavor bits from the bottom of the skillet as you stir.
4. Return chicken breasts to the sauce, and gently simmer for about 15 minutes. To serve, place a chicken breast on a plate, and top with sauce.
