Quick, easy and delicious … what more could you want?! Enjoy!
Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
- 6 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves, pounded
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 2 shallots, minced
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons brandy
- 2 tablespoons chopped parsley
In a shallow bowl, combine flour, salt, and pepper. Dredge chicken breasts in flour mixture to coat. Shake off excess.
In a large frying pan, heat butter and oil over medium heat. Add chicken and cook, turning, until opaque throughout, and browned, about 10-15 minutes. Remove and set aside. Add shallots to pan and cook until soft, about 2 minutes. Return chicken to pan with any juices that may have collected.
Increase heat to medium-high; add lemon juice and brandy. Ignite carefully with a match. After flames subside, transfer chicken and sauce to a serving platter. Sprinkle with chopped parsley and serve.
*Note: Does not produce a lot of sauce, the addition of chicken broth would allow for more sauce.

Simple dishes can also be the best dishes.
This is now on my menu for this week!
Thanks – I hope you enjoy it. My only note would be to increase liquids for more sauce and possibly add chicken broth.
This sounds yummy and even I may be able to do this!
Thanks Girlfriend!! Of course you can make it. 🙂
What a delightfully looking dish, Cheryl! 😉
Thank you Malou.
What is chicken paillard? I have never heard of this dish, but it looks great (and it sounds fun! Playing with fire, yeah! lol) ~Ruth
Thank you Ruth! Ha ha … playing with fire in the kitchen is too much fun! lol I just made something last night that involved torching the pan … I’ll post that later. I hope you are enjoying your weekend!
Yum yum easy and healthy weeknight meal ~
Thanks Daisy!
How yummy! The recipe is such a nice simple chicken, then you add the Brandy:]
Thanks! It is simple enough for a weeknight meal!
This looks fantastic and is definitely going into the Must Try file! Yummy Cheryl. Just yummy.
Thank you very much Tia. I would definitely add more brandy and some chicken broth to get more of a sauce.
This sounds great, do you think it would work the same with bourbon?
Thank you! I would think it might, although I haven’t cooked much with bourbon. If you make it I would definetly add more liquid to make more of a sauce.
I will plan to give it a try and let you know what happens.
Thank you – I’ll be curious to know … then I’ll have to try it!
Waah, the ignite the brandy part will already be a major kitchen stunt for me, haha. I guess I’ll just stare at the yummy photo. Good thing, I have the previous recipe to make. 🙂
The igniting is fun … I love to see it go up in flames ha ha .. playing with fire! lol Thank you so much for all your nice comments and likes!

Thanks for the link to my blog! I hope you like the chicken recipe and that it comes out great with the bourbon!
I just made this for my family and it was fantastic. I did make some changes by adding paprika to the seasoning and I used Bourbon instead of brandy. I will be re-posting this recipe.
I’m so glad the bourbon worked out and that you enjoyed it! Thank you so much for letting me know and for the reblog as well! Have a fantastic weekend!
