Authentic Chicken French Recipe (Rochester, NY)

Ingredients

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

Instructions

1. In a shallow bowl, combine flour, salt, and pepper. In a separate bowl, whisk together the beaten eggs, sugar, and Parmesan cheese until well blended and the sugar is dissolved.
2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat until shimmering. Dip each chicken breast in the flour mixture, then in the egg mixture, and carefully place in the hot skillet. Pan-fry the chicken until golden brown and cooked through, approximately 6 minutes per side. Remove from skillet and keep warm.
3. Using the same skillet over medium-low heat, melt butter and stir in minced garlic. Add sherry, fresh lemon juice, and chicken base. Simmer the sauce, stirring until smooth and slightly thickened, about 5 minutes. Make sure to scrape up any browned bits from the skillet bottom for extra flavor.
4. Return the chicken breasts to the skillet with the sauce and simmer gently for about 15 minutes. To serve, place a chicken breast on each plate and generously top with the delicious lemon-sherry sauce.
