Rochester-Style Chicken French
Ingredients
  • 1/4 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
  • 1/4 cup butter
  • 2 teaspoons minced garlic
  • 1/4 cup dry sherry
  • 1/4 cup lemon juice
  • 2 teaspoons low-sodium chicken base
Instructions
1
Combine the dry ingredients flour, salt, and pepper in a shallow dish to create a coating mixture. Whisk together the eggs, sugar, and Parmesan cheese in another container until they are completely incorporated and the sugar is fully dissolved.
2
Heat a generous amount of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat until the oil is just starting to move and shimmer. Dip chicken breasts into the dry coating mixture, then into the egg mixture, making sure they are fully coated before gently placing them in the skillet. Cook chicken breasts until they are golden brown and cooked through, about 6 minutes on each side. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
3
In the same skillet over medium-low heat, melt a significant amount of butter, then stir in minced garlic. Add sherry, lemon juice, and chicken base to the skillet. Bring the sauce to a gentle simmer, stirring constantly until it is smooth and slightly thickened, about 5 minutes. Be sure to scrape the bottom of the skillet as you stir to remove any browned bits.
4
Return chicken breasts to the sauce, and let them simmer gently for about 15 minutes. To serve, place a cooked chicken breast on a plate, and spoon the sauce over the top.
