30 15 45

Ingredients

  • 4 boneless skinless chicken breast halves (6 ounces each)
  • 3 eggs, lightly beaten
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan and Romano cheese blend
  • 1 tablespoon minced fresh parsley
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon pepper
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • SAUCE:
  • 2 tablespoons chopped shallot
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1/4 cup white wine
  • 4-1/2 teaspoons lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon minced fresh parsley
  • 1 teaspoon dried sage leaves
  • 1 teaspoon grated lemon peel
  • 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 3 tablespoons cold butter

Directions

  • Flatten chicken to 1/2-in. thickness. In a shallow bowl, combine the eggs, cheese and seasonings. Place flour in another shallow bowl. Coat chicken with flour, then dip in egg mixture.
  • In a large skillet, brown chicken in oil in batches. Transfer to a greased 15-in. x 10-in. x 1-in. baking pan. Bake, uncovered, at 375° for 15-20 minutes or until a meat thermometer reads 170°.
  • In the drippings, saute shallot until tender. Add garlic; cook 1 minute longer. Add the wine, lemon juice, herbs and lemon peel; cook over medium heat until liquid is reduced by half. Add cream; cook until thickened, stirring occasionally. Stir in butter until melted. Serve sauce with chicken. Yield: 4 servings.

Tip

Shallot Substitutions

Shallots are part of the onion family and have a mild onion-garlic flavor. In place of 3 to 4 shallots, use 1 medium onion plus a pinch of garlic powder or (if you like the taste of garlic) 1 minced garlic clove.

This chicken is SO good! A little time consuming to make so I've only made it a couple times, but it is definitely worth it.

This is an Olive Garden copy cat recipe. It's delicious.

One of the best recipes we have made in a long time. Next time we will fry the chicken a bit longer so its crispier. Also may cut back on the lemon juice just a tad.

OMG! This was so absolutely delicious! The sauce was so incredibly flavorful I could have eaten it with a spoon! A definite repeater!!!!!!!!!

This is the best chicken dish I have ever made. And that was without the wine (subbed chicken broth), The only thing I would do differently is to whisk the sauce in a blender until it's smooth.

I loved the chicken with the egg and herb coating. I made the sauce with light cream instead of heavy whipping cream to make it a bit healthier and it still came out good.

This was so delicious...I was a little frazzled making it because I forgot to have things ready like the lemon zest or the shallots chopped. When I ate the first bite, though, it was all worth it. My husband said that it tasted like we were in an expensive restaraunt. I didn't change anything in the recipe and used wine. I will definitly be making this delicious recipe again, maybe tonight!

LOVED this!!!! I doubled the sauce as we always love extra that i used for our mashed potatoes i made to go with it - the sauce over the mashed potatoes was YUMMY! This was like chicken you would get in a nice restaurant! I never made a chicken breast w/an "egg" coating before (w/o bread crumbs) so that was rather interesting but i loved it! I did use the wine and instead of dried used fresh sage leaves (which if doubled would be 24 leaves chopped to = 2 tsp dried) i prob will add a bit more lemon juice but the subtle taste of it was still very yummy! this will be regularly in our rotation!
