Chicken Breasts in Light Lemon Sauce image

I found a version of this recipe in the paper and tinkered with it to try to lighten it up. This is what I came up with. Some times I saute sliced mushrooms and add them to the sauce. This is good served with rice.

Categories     Chicken Breast

Time 20m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

6 boneless chicken breasts
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper (I actually use lemon pepper)
2 tablespoons margarine
2/3 cup chicken broth
2 tablespoons sherry wine (I have used wine in a pinch)
1 tablespoon lemon zest
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 cup evaporated skim milk
2 teaspoons cornstarch
1/8-1/4 cup parmesan cheese (depends on your preference)

Steps:

  • Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper.
  • Melt margarine in a large skillet, add chicken stock, and bring to a boil.
  • Add the chicken breasts and cook over medium heat, turning once or twice, just until the chicken is no longer pink (this should take 6-10 minutes). Remove the chicken to an ovenproof pan.
  • Add the sherry, lemon juice and lemon peel to the stock in the skillet.
  • Add cornstarch to the evaporated milk, mixing well. Slowly add to the skillet, stirring constantly. Bring to a boil so it thickens.
  • Remove sauce from heat and pour over the chicken.
  • Sprinkle the parmesan cheese over.
  • Place under the broiler until golden brown (should only take a couple of minutes).
