Easy Chicken Francese

Ingredients

  • 4 thinly sliced, boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • All purpose flour
  • Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper
  • 3 eggs (2 is plenty)
  • 2 tablespoons water
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1/2 lemon, with rind, cut into the rounds
  • 1/2 cup dry white wine, such as Pinot Grigio
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • Juice of 1/2 lemon
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1/4 cup chopped flat leaf parsley

Instructions

1

Put some flour in a shallow bowl and mix with salt and pepper.

2

In a wide bowl, beat the eggs with 1.5 tablespoons of water.

3

Heat the oil over medium-high heat in a large skillet.

4

Dredge both sides of the chicken in flour, pat off extra flour, and then dip the chicken into the egg wash to coat completely, letting the excess drip off.

5

When the oil is hot, add the cutlets and fry for 2 minutes on each side until golden, turning once. Remove the chicken to a large platter in a single layer.

6

Place lemon slices in the pan and cook for 1 to 2 minutes, until lightly browned.

7

Add the wine, broth, and lemon juice; simmer for 5 minutes to reduce the sauce slightly.

8

Roll the butter in some flour and add it to the skillet, this will thicken the sauce. Stir to incorporate and dissolve the flour.

9

Reduce the heat to medium-low and return the chicken to the pan; place the lemon slices on top of the cutlets.

10

Simmer for 2 minutes to heat the chicken through. Season with salt and pepper and garnish with chopped parsley.
