While this is my mom's recipe, I had completely forgotten about it and just recently found a copy of this fantastic dish. The rich sauce and wonderful batter that goes on the chicken makes this an exquisite entree that is ideal for company.

Shallot SubstitutionsShallots 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.

Wonderful flavor although maybe I put too much egg mixture because I had to double that. But my husband loved it and I will definately make it again.

I prepared this for my homecare client who is a retired Home Economics teacher and foods judge at various fairs; she is a bit narrow-minded about food prep and taste, as you can imagine. She and I agreed that this is a Very, Very Good recipe, and she has alluded to it daily since we had it 4 days ago! Like Kristy55cooks, I prefer a little more sauce. We prefer dark meat chicken so instead of breast I used thigh meat, which also requires less pounding. If you are cooking for 2, as I was, the ingredients halve well except for the eggs (I used 2), so I added a little more Parmesan to thicken the 2-egg mixture. After rolling the chicken in the egg mixture, I added a little flour and baking powder to the remainder to make hush-puppies. I made the full recipe of sauce, and that was the perfect amount for the 2 thighs and the hush-puppies. Oh, and as we were out of white wine, I used chicken broth. This will definitely be served again! And again!

I found this in my Taste of Home magazine and made it for my husband (he is a real foodie) for dinner, and he raved about it! He insisted that I go on line and get the recipe so that I could make copies for our at-home recipe file. It really was great! The only thing I would do is double the amount of sauce and add more lemon to it (the lemon taste didn't come through as strong as we would like). Definitely our newest "company's coming" main dish.
