I have always been a fan of French food. When I was in Paris, I had this fantastic French chicken at a local eatery and it was fantastic. Upon my arrival home the aroma and taste still lingered with me and I had to reproduce it. I have it shot and the dish came out incredible.
One of the best things about the dish is the sauce is so easy to make and incredibly delicious. In total it involves about 5 ingredients I think. Most of these you will already have in your pantry.

Note
I use boneless skinless chicken breasts in the recipe as they are simple and healthy. You can adjust the seasoning according to your taste or add more. For example, a bit of garlic would be fine. Bread crumbs could be used as a dredge if you are so inclined.
