Ingredients

6 Skinless boneless chicken breast halves
1/4 cup (1/2 stick) butter
2 tbsp Dry vermouth
2 tbsp Fresh lemon juice
2 tsp Grated lemon peel
1/4 cup Whipping cream
1/2 cup Canned low-salt chicken broth
1/2 cup Freshly grated Parmesan cheese
Chopped fresh parsley
Lemon wedges (optional)

Preparation

Using mallet, lightly pound chicken between sheets of plastic wrap to 1/2" thickness. Season chicken with salt and pepper. Melt butter in heavy large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken to skillet and saute just until cooked through (about 3 min per side). Transfer chicken to platter cover with foil and keep warm.


Pour butter from skillet. Add vermouth, lemon juice and lemon peel to same skillet; boil 1 min, scraping up browned bits. Add cream, broth and any juices accumulated from chicken; boil until reduced to sauce consistency (about 8 min). Mix in 1/4 cup parmesan. Season sauce with salt and pepper. Pour sauce around chicken. Sprinkle with 1/4 cup parmesan and parsley; garnish with lemon, if desired.

Yeah, I don't know if I made this wrong or what, but the sauce wasn't really sauce; it was more of a topping. Actually, it had the consistency of vomit. It tasted really good, but I would be embarrassed to serve it to anyone because it looked so gross.
