Try this:
4 each breast Boneless skinless
seasoned flour (flour and salt and pepper)
4 whole eggs beaten
1\4 cup olive oil (for sauteing)
1 clove shallots chopped small
1 clove garlic fine chopped
1\8 cup red onion small dice
1 tsp capers
1\4 cup white wine
1\2 lemon
chicken stock
parsley chopped fresh
1\8 # butter
1. dredge the breast into the flour shaking off all excess.
then into the egg wash.
in a hot skillet pan saute the breast in the olive oil. the oil must be hot enough to sizzle the egg imeadiatly but not to a smoking temp.
turn the chicken when the egg battered chicken is a dark golden brown and cook identical on the other side.
(this can be done for catering a little ahead of schedule.)
2. remove most of the oil from the pan and add the shallots, garlic and the red onion and saute until they are translucent.
deglaze the pan with the wine and reduce the wine byn 1\2.
3. Add the lemon juice and capers bring to a simmer add the chicken stock cook for about a minute turn off the heat add the butter in small pieces at service time and at the very last minute add the parsley.
I have been using this recipe since my start at the sheraton valley forge in pa. good luck.
