Cook time: 30 min
Total time: 45 min
Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients: 1/4 cup all-purpose flour, or as needed; salt and black pepper to taste; 2 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

Servings: persons

1/4 cup all-purpose flour, or as needed
salt and black pepper to taste
2 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

1
Mix together the flour, salt, and pepper in a shallow bowl. In another bowl, whisk beaten eggs, sugar, and Parmesan cheese 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 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.
3
In the same skillet over medium-low heat, melt the butter, and stir in garlic, 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. Return the chicken breasts to the sauce, and gently simmer until no longer pink in the center, about 15 minutes.
4
To serve, place a chicken breast on a plate, and top with sauce.
