Geraldines Chicken French Recipes

CHICKEN FRENCH - ROCHESTER, NY STYLE

Steps:

• 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.
• 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.
• 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.
• To serve, place a chicken breast on a plate, and top with sauce.

GERALDINE CHICKEN

Steps:

• Remove the skin from the chicken pieces. Heat the butter in a large frying pan and lightly dust the chicken with the seasoned flour. Fry quickly on all sides until golden brown.
• Sprinkle in the orange rind and parsley and pour in the sherry. Add the stock and stir in the meat juices. Cover and simmer for about 15 minutes, or until chicken is tender.
• Serve with a little sauce spooned over each piece of chicken. A little more water may need to be added, depending on how fast it boils away.
• Serve with rice.
