Chicken Francese

chicken breasts (cut in half lengthwise)

Salt & pepper (to taste)

garlic powder

flour flour (divided use)

eggs (lightly beaten)

olive oil

butter

chicken broth

lemon juice

lemon

For serving: chopped parsley, freshly grated parmesan cheese (optional, to taste)

Slice the chicken breasts in half lengthwise so you have four thinner cutlets. Place them between 2 sheets of plastic wrap and then pound thin (to about 1/4&quot;) using the flat end of a meat mallet. Sprinkle both sides of the chicken with the salt &amp; pepper and garlic powder. 

Add the 1/4 cup of flour to a bowl or plate (you will dredge the chicken in it), then add the eggs to a second bowl and whisk with a fork.

Add the olive oil to a large skillet over medium-high heat (let the pan heat up for a few minutes). You will be frying two pieces of chicken at a time. One by one, coat the first two pieces of chicken with the flour, then the egg, and then add each piece to the skillet after letting the excess drip off. Cook for about 3 minutes/side or until the crust is golden and the chicken is cooked through (165F). Remove the chicken from the pan and set it aside. Repeat for the second batch (add a little more olive oil if the pan is looking dry). The second batch tends to go faster, so keep an eye on it so it doesn&#39;t burn.

Reduce the heat to medium. Add the butter to the skillet. Once it melts, stir in the 1 tablespoon of flour and let it cook for about 30 seconds or so.

Whisk in the broth and lemon juice (scrape any brown bits off the bottom of the pan), and then add in the lemon slices. Cook for 5 minutes or until the sauce has reduced/thickened a bit.

Add the chicken back to the skillet and then serve immediately with some sauce spooned over, or simply plate the chicken and then pour the sauce over. It&#39;s best to serve it quite quickly before the chicken&#39;s coating softens up too much. Season with extra salt &amp; pepper as needed. Top with some chopped parsley and freshly grated parmesan cheese if desired. Yes, you can eat those cooked lemon slices if you like, or discard them if you prefer.

This Chicken Francese recipe comes together quickly with only a few simple ingredients. An easy chicken dinner for a busy weeknight or for entertaining guests, this chicken recipe is perfect!

chicken breasts ((675 grams))

all-purpose flour ((30 grams))

salt (divided)

black pepper (divided)

eggs (beaten)

olive oil ((60 milliliters))

lemon (thinly sliced)

unsalted butter

all-purpose flour

chicken broth ((240 milliliters))

white wine ((120 milliliters))

parsley

Place the chicken breasts between 2 pieces of plastic wrap. Pound the breasts with a mallet or rolling pin to about ½-inch thickness.

In a shallow dish, combine ¼ cup flour, 1 teaspoon salt, and ½ teaspoon pepper. Place the beaten eggs in another shallow dish.

In a large nonstick skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Dredge two chicken breasts in the flour mixture, then dip in the beaten eggs. Add the chicken to the pan, and cook until golden brown, about 4 minutes. Flip and repeat. Cook until the chicken has an internal temperature of 165F/75C. Remove the cooked chicken to a plate. Keep warm. Repeat the procedure with the remaining two breasts.

Add the lemon slices to the skillet. Cook for 1 minute or until the lemons begin to brown. Transfer the lemon slices to the plate.

Carefully wipe out the skillet with a paper towel. Place the skillet over medium heat. Add the butter and cook until melted. Add 1 tablespoon flour and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly. Gradually whisk in the broth and wine and simmer until the sauce is just thickened, about 4 minutes.

Stir in the lemon juice, remaining ¼ teaspoon salt, and remaining ¼ teaspoon pepper. Return the chicken and lemon slices to the skillet, spooning the sauce over the chicken. Sprinkle with parsley and serve immediately.

Easy Chicken Francese Recipe

Easy Chicken Frances is chicken breaded first in flour and then eggs, pan-fried, and served in a white wine lemon sauce with fresh lemons and chopped Italian parsley.

Chicken Francese Recipe

chicken breasts

all purpose flour

salt

black pepper

eggs

vegetable oil

flour

dry white wine

Italian parsley

Parmesan Cheese

Combine the flour, kosher salt, fresh ground black pepper, and garlic powder in a shallow bowl.  Beat the eggs in a separate shallow bowl.

Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Dredge the chicken cutlets in the flour mixture, then dunk them into the eggs. Let the excess beaten eggs drip off.

Add the chicken to the skillet and cook until golden brown on the bottom. Flip and cook until golden brown on the other side and cooked through. Remove the chicken to a plate. Carefully wipe most of the oil out of the skillet.

Reduce the heat to medium and melt the butter. Whisk in the flour and cook for 2 minutes while gently scraping the bottom of the pan to get off any browned bits. Whisk in the white wine and let it reduce for 1-2 minutes. Add the chicken broth and lemon juice. Whisk to combine and let it thicken for a minute. Return the cooked chicken to the skillet with the sauce. Garnish with fresh lemon slices, chopped fresh parsley, or a sprinkle of grated Parmesan Cheese.  For best results, serve promptly.
