Steps:
- Trim fat from chicken breast halves.
- Cut breast sections in half so that you have four roughly equal pieces.
- Take a gallon zip top bag and cut the two edges open so that the sides are only joined at the bottom edge of the bag.
- Place breast sections in bag one at a time and pound flat with a mallet or a flat heavy object until chicken pieces are only 1/4 to 1/2" thick.
- Season breast sections on both sides with 1 tsp of fresh ground pepper and salt to taste.
- Heat a frying or sauté pan to medium/medium high heat. Do NOT use a non-stick pan. You can't make decent pan sauces with Teflon. I prefer a stainless steel pan but cast iron would work (preferably enamel coated cast iron).
- Put flour in a bowl and press breast pieces into it to coat chicken fully.
- Add olive oil to pan and let it come up to temperature. It should only take a couple of seconds.
- Add breast sections. Brown the chicken to a golden brown then flip and do the same on the other side. It should only take roughly 3 minutes per side or you have the chicken too thick. Do not crowd the pan. If you have to cook the chicken in batches keep the first batch warm by wrapping in aluminum foil.
- While chicken is frying, chop Italian parsley to 1/8 cup.
- Remove the last batch of chicken from the pan and wrap in foil to keep warm.
- Turn up heat under pan to medium high and add chicken broth. If pan is hot enough, the broth will boil immediately. Use a wooden spoon to scrape all the brown bits off the bottom of the pan. This is where all the flavor is.
- Add brandy, lemon juice and remaining black pepper and then reduce liquid by 1/2.
- Reduce heat to low and add butter and parsley. Stir in butter until sauce is smooth.
- Place chicken pieces on plates and then pour the pan sauce over the chicken. Don't drown it.
- Enjoy!

Steps:
- Brine the chicken:.
- Combine the orange juice, zest, 6 Tbs. salt, and 4 cups water in a large bowl or pot; stir to dissolve the salt. Add the chicken breasts and refrigerate for 2 to 3 hours.
- Cook the chicken:.
- Position a rack in the center of the oven and heat the oven to 400°F.
- Remove the chicken from the brine and pat it dry with paper towels.
- Heat the olive oil in a 12-inch oven-proof skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering hot. Add the chicken skin side down in a snug single layer and cook until the skin is golden brown, 3 to 5 minutes. Turn the chicken, season with 1/4 teaspoons salt and a few grinds of pepper, and put the pan in the oven. Roast the chicken until an instant-read thermometer registers 165°F in the center of the thickest breast, about 15 minutes. Remove from the oven, transfer the chicken to a carving board, tent with foil, and let rest while you make the sauce.
- Make the sauce:.
- Pour the juices from the skillet into a heatproof measuring cup. Let the fat rise to the surface and then spoon it off.
- Melt 2 Tbs. of the butter in the skillet over medium-high heat. Add the shallot and cook, stirring, until soft, 1 to 2 minutes. Off the heat, add the brandy. Return the pan to the heat and cook, scraping the bottom of the pan, until the brandy has almost evaporated, about 30 seconds. Increase the heat to high and add the orange juice. Boil until thick and syrupy and reduced to about 1/3 cup, about 5 minutes. Add the chicken broth, pan juices, and any juices from the carving board. Boil until reduced to about 3/4 cup, about 3 minutes.
- Swirl in the orange segments. Then, off the heat, swirl in the remaining 1 Tbs. butter and the parsley until the butter is melted. Season to taste with salt and a few grinds of pepper.
- To serve, cut the chicken on the diagonal into thin slices and arrange on 6 serving plates. Drizzle with the sauce.
