6 boneless chicken breasts
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper (I actually use lemon pepper)
2 tablespoons margarine
2/3 cup chicken broth
2 tablespoons sherry wine (I have used wine in a pinch)
1 tablespoon lemon zest
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 cup evaporated skim milk
2 teaspoons cornstarch
1/8 - 1/4 cup parmesan cheese (depends on your preference)

1
Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper.
2
Melt margarine in a large skillet, add chicken stock, and bring to a boil.
3
Add the chicken breasts and cook over medium heat, turning once or twice, just until the chicken is no longer pink (this should take 6-10 minutes). Remove the chicken to an ovenproof pan.
4
Add the sherry, lemon juice and lemon peel to the stock in the skillet.
5
Add cornstarch to the evaporated milk, mixing well. Slowly add to the skillet, stirring constantly. Bring to a boil so it thickens.
6
Remove sauce from heat and pour over the chicken.
7
Sprinkle the parmesan cheese over.
8
Place under the broiler until golden brown (should only take a couple of minutes).
