Directions: Chicken Francese Recipe

Cooking Directions

  • STEP 1.In a shallow dish, combine flour, salt, and pepper. Dredge chicken cutlets in the flour mixture, shaking off any excess.
  • STEP 2.Heat olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken cutlets and cook until golden brown on both sides, about 3-4 minutes per side.
  • STEP 3.Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside. In the same skillet, add garlic and cook for 1 minute. Add lemon juice, chicken broth, and white wine. Bring to a simmer and cook until the sauce has thickened slightly, about 5 minutes.
  • STEP 4.Return the chicken to the skillet and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, until heated through. Serve the chicken with the sauce spooned over the top.
  • STEP 5.Garnish with fresh parsley and lemon slices, if desired. Serve with pasta or crusty bread for a complete meal.

Cooking Tips

  • Make sure to shake off any excess flour from the chicken before frying to prevent clumping in the sauce.
  • For a lighter version, you can use boneless, skinless chicken breasts instead of cutlets.
  • If the sauce is too thick, you can thin it out with a little more chicken broth or white wine.

Storage and Serving

  • Leftover chicken francese can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Reheat the chicken in a skillet over low heat, adding a splash of chicken broth to keep it moist.
  • Serve the chicken francese with a side of pasta or a fresh green salad for a complete and satisfying meal.
