Receta Delicious Chicken with Lemon-Wine Sauce
FYI: Don't be eating your chicken with a fork in Gainesville, Georgia, the 'Chicken Capital of the World', it's against the law. And by the way, Honest Abe was an honest-to-goodness foodie.* He even did his own grocery shopping! Abe could eat four score and seven corn cakes; and, speaking of chicken, chicken fricassee was one of the only two dishes the Lincolns were known to have eaten at dinner in the 1850's, the other was corned beef. It's no wonder that chicken appears as a staple in practically every culture’s cuisine ~ it can easily be flavored and prepared in many ways ~ roasted, grilled, poached, broiled, in stews, potpies and soups ~ with a plethora of sauces, toppings and seasonings, such as...

Coq Au Vin sounds super fancy, but this simple French dish is one that anyone can master, combining a cut-up whole chicken with bacon, sliced carrots, whole onions, and cremona mushrooms; simmering in Burgundy wine and a little Cognac or good brandy, and butter, then cooking to perfection in a Dutch oven.

Valerie's recipe finishes with a delicious lemon-wine sauce poured over the top, with shavings of romano cheese and thyme leaves scattered over all. The sauce is great for side dishes of potatoes, rice or a green vegetable.

CHICKEN WITH LEMON-WINE SAUCE
This chicken comes out very crispy with a hint of garlic flavor, a tangy flavorful way to turn a basic chicken into a more sophisticated treat.
prep time: 25 minscook time: 20 minstotal time: 45 mins
ingredients:
3 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 large egg, lightly beaten
3/4 cup Italian-seasoned breadcrumbs
1-2 tablespoons olive oil
2 large garlic cloves, halved
2 chicken-flavored bouillon cubes
3/4 cup boiling water
3/4 cup dry white wine
3 tablespoons lemon juice
1/3 cup shaved fresh romano cheese
1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
instructions
Preheat oven to 350°.
Place chicken between 2 pieces of plastic wrap, and flatten with a meat mallet to 1/2" thickness.
Place egg in a shallow dish. Place breadcrumbs in another shallow dish. Dip the chicken, 1 piece at a time, in the egg, shaking off the excess. Dredge in breadcrumbs.
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium. Add garlic in the skillet, cook until lightly browned, about 2 minutes. Remove the garlic from the skillet and discard.
Cook chicken until golden brown, 2-3 minutes per side.
Place on a baking sheet, and bake until cooked through, 15-20 minutes.
Meanwhile, dissolve bouillon cubes in boiling water.
Add bouillon broth, wine, and lemon juice to the drippings in the skillet; cook over medium-high heat until reduced to about 3/4 cup, about 8 minutes.
Remove chicken from oven, transfer to a serving plate. Pour the sauce over the chicken, and sprinkle with the romano and thyme.
