Easy Chicken French

Servings 4

Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour or gluten free flour 
  • salt and black pepper to taste
  • 2 eggs, beaten 
  • 1 tbsp coconut palm sugar or raw sugar
  • 1 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese or another mild hard cheese
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves, sliced in half lengthwise to make 4 cutlets
  • 1/4 cup butter
  • 1 garlic clove minced
  • 1/4 cup dry sherry
  • 1/4 cup lemon juice
  • 1/4 cup chicken broth or stock
For garnish:
  • parsley
For serving:
  • roasted carrots
  • roasted potatoes

Instructions

  • In a shallow bowl, combine the flour, salt, and pepper.  In another bowl, whisk beaten eggs, sugar, and Parmesan cheese until the mixture is thoroughly blended and the sugar has dissolved.
  • Over medium heat, add olive and heat until the oil shimmers.Dip the chicken breasts into the flour mixture, then into the egg mixture, and gently lay them into the skillet. Pan-fry the 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.
  • In the same skillet over medium-low heat, melt the butter, and stir in garlic, sherry, lemon juice, and chicken stock. Bring the sauce to a simmer and stir until smooth about 5 minutes. Be sure to dissolve any brown flavor bits from the bottom of the skillet as you stir. Return the chicken breasts to the sauce, and gently simmer until no longer pink in the center, about 15 minutes.
  • To serve, place a chicken breast on a plate, and top with sauce and garnish with chopped parsley.
  • Serve with roasted carrots and roasted potatoes.
