Delicious Chicken Francese Recipe for a Perfect Dinner

Ingredients

Servings:
4
  • 2 pieces boneless chicken breasts
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour (for dredging)
  • 2 large eggs (beaten)
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1 cup white wine (optional)
  • 1 lemon juiced
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley (chopped, for garnish)
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

6 steps

  1. Prepare the Chicken

    Pound chicken breasts to an even thickness.

    This ensures even cooking.
  2. Dredge the Chicken

    Coat each chicken breast in flour, shaking off excess.

    This helps create a crispy crust.
  3. Heat the Pan

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil and butter over medium heat.

    Make sure the oil is hot before adding chicken.
  4. Cook the Chicken

    Add chicken to the skillet and cook until golden, about 4-5 minutes per side.

    Don't overcrowd the pan.
  5. Make the Sauce

    Remove chicken, then add chicken broth, wine, lemon juice, salt, and pepper to the skillet.

    Scrape up any brown bits for flavor.
  6. Combine and Serve

    Return chicken to skillet, cook for another 2 minutes, and garnish with parsley.

    Serve hot with pasta or rice.
