Chicken With Lemon Brandy Sauce - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1/2 cup flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
6 boneless skinless chicken breasts, pounded 1/4 inch thick
2 tablespoons butter
1 tablespoon vegetable oil

Preparation

In a shallow bowl, combine flour, salt and pepper. Dredge chicken breasts in flour mixture and shake off excess.
In a large frying pan, heat butter and oil over medium heat.
Add chicken and cook, turning, until opaque throughout, about 6 minutes.
Remove and set aside. Add shallots to the pan and cook until just soft, about 2 minutes.
Return chicken to pan along with any juices that have collected.
Increase heat to medium high; add lemon juice and brandy. Ignite carefully with a match.
After flames subside, transfer chicken and sauce to a serving platter. Sprinkle with chopped parsley and serve.
