Keep warm until ready to serve.

To make sauce, add butter and shallots to saute pan and saute about 30 seconds. Deglaze pan with brandy off the burner, as it will flame up. Add chicken stock, lemon, sugar, and cream and reduce on medium heat until thickened. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Add lemon slices to sauce to warm. If the sauce thickens too much, add a little more chicken stock.

To serve, place chicken on warm plates and top with sauce and lemon slices. Garnish with chopped parsley.
