Chicken Francese Recipe

This easy recipe makes the most delicious chicken. Although you might be curious about dipping the chicken in the flour before the egg, it really does work best this way around to make a delicious crispy golden brown coating. 

  • Total Time: 35 minutes
  • Yield: 4 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • ¼ cup all-purpose flour
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 beaten large eggs
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • 3 tablespoons canola or vegetable oil
  • Chopped fresh parsley and parmesan cheese, to serve

FOR THE LEMON SAUCE:

  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • ⅔ cup chicken broth
  • ⅔ cup dry white wine
  • 1 thinly sliced lemon
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice

Instructions

  1. Cut the chicken breasts lengthwise to make 4 thinner breast pieces.
  2. Whisk the flour with the salt, pepper and garlic powder in one bowl and beat the eggs in another.
  3. Heat the oil in a skillet.
  4. Dredge the chicken pieces in the flour first and then the eggs, letting the excess drip off.
  5. Now add the chicken to the skillet and cook until golden on the bottom.
  6. Flip and cook until the other side is golden brown too.
  7. Transfer the cooked chicken onto a paper towel lined plate and discard most of the oil from the skillet.
  8. Turn the heat down and add the butter to the pan, stirring until dissolved.
  9. Whisk in the flour, cooking for 2 minutes, scraping any stuck-on bits up from the pan bottom using a wooden spoon.
  10. Next you can whisk in the wine and cook for a couple of minutes.
  11. Add the lemon juice and broth, and whisk to combine.
  12. Let the mixture thicken for about a minute, then put the chicken back in the pan to warm back through.
  13. Serve garnished with lemon slices, parsley and parmesan cheese.
