WATERCRESS/FENNEL SAUCE

Adding some old recipes from a website I haven't updated in years....this one is from 2001

2 cups watercress ends, chopped
1/3 cup fennel ends, chopped
10-12 fresh sage leaves, rough chopped
1 large garlic clove, smashed and minced
salt and pepper

Saute above in about 1/4 cup butter till wilted. Add the juice of 1/2 lemon, 1/2 cup white vermouth and 1 cup chicken broth. Bring to a boil and simmer till almost all liquid has evaporated.

Emulsify in a blender or food processor, whisk in an additional 1T butter and 1/2 cup heavy cream.

I served it over chicken breasts which were pounded thin, floured, dipped in egg wash, breaded with a mixture of bread crumbs, grated parmesan and Penzeys Herbes de Provence then pan fried in olive oil and butter. I flamed them at the end with a little brandy because the kids love it when I set their food on fire
