Chicken Francese: An Amazing Ultimate Recipe for 5 Star Meals


  • Author: Chef Ethan Sam
  • Total Time: 35 minutes

Ingredients

– 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
– 1 cup all-purpose flour
– 2 large eggs
– 1 tablespoon water
– 1 teaspoon salt
– 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
– 1/4 cup olive oil
– 1/4 cup unsalted butter
– 1 cup chicken broth
– 1/4 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
– 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley (for garnish)


Instructions

Creating Chicken Francese is simple if you follow these steps:

1. Prepare the Chicken: Place the chicken breasts between two sheets of plastic wrap. Pound them to an even thickness of about 1/2 inch.
2. Set Up Breading Station: In one shallow dish, place the flour. In another bowl, whisk together the eggs and water.
3. Season the Flour: Add salt and black pepper to the flour and mix well.
4. Coat the Chicken: Dredge each chicken breast in the flour, shaking off the excess. Then dip it into the egg mixture, allowing any excess to drip off.
5. Heat the Pan: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil and half of the butter over medium-high heat until hot.
6. Cook the Chicken: Place the chicken breasts in the skillet, cooking for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from the skillet and keep warm.
7. Make the Sauce: In the same skillet, add the chicken broth and lemon juice, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom. Bring to a simmer.
8. Finish the Sauce: Stir in the remaining butter until melted and the sauce is slightly thickened.
9. Combine: Return the chicken to the skillet, coating it with the sauce. Let it warm for an additional minute.
10. Garnish: Transfer the chicken to a serving platter, drizzle with the sauce, and sprinkle with fresh parsley.
