Chicken Francese

Author: foodyschmoody

Ingredients

  • 4 boneless chicken breasts
  • ½ C flour seasoned with salt and pepper
  • 3 eggs
  • 3 T water
  • ¼ C olive oil
  • 1 lemon ½ cut into slices and half juiced
  • ½ C white wine
  • 1 C chicken broth
  • 2 T butter
  • ¼ C parsley chopped

Instructions

  • Place chicken on a cutting board and cover with plastic wrap. Pound the chicken with a mallet to ¼ inch thickness (or purchase the thin cut chicken and you can skip this step).
  • Place seasoned flour on a shallow plate. Beat eggs with water in a wide bowl.
  • Heat oil in a large skillet over medium high heat.
  • Dredge the chicken in the flour first and then the egg wash to coat completely.
  • Add the coated chicken to hot oil and cook about 3 minutes on each side, until golden brown. Remove the chicken to a plate/platter and set aside.
  • Put lemon slices in same pan and cook 1-2 minutes. Add the wine, broth and lemon juice and simmer for about 5 minutes. Sauce should reduce a bit.
  • Sprinkle the butter with a little bit of flour (to help thicken the sauce a little bit) and add it to the pan, stirring. Reduce heat to medium low and place chicken back in pan. Place lemon slices on top of chicken. Simmer 2-5 minutes, until chicken is cooked through. Garnish with chopped parsley.
