2tablespoons butter

Lemon Cream Sauce

Instructions

Marinate chicken in italian dressing for 1-2 hours.
Pull chicken out of dressing and spread out on a plate. Squeeze lemon over it.
In a frying pay, melt the butter over medium heat.
Dredge each piece of chicken in the flour, then dip in the eggs and place in the frying pan.
Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side (until browned and cooked through). Be very careful when flipping the chicken so the breading does not fall off – a spatula works well. Remove the chicken from the pan when it is done.
In the same pan, melt the tablespoon of butter and saute the garlic for about 30 seconds.
Add the chicken stock and let cook until reduced by half. About 2 minutes.
Add the cream, lemon juice, and pepper. Stir constantly until thickened. About 3-5 minutes.
Pour the sauce over the chicken and serve.
