This recipe for Chicken Francese is as elegant as it is easy to make.<\/p>\n
Chicken cutlets are lightly breaded and fried and then simmered in a savory lemon wine sauce.<\/p>\n<\/figure>\n
What is Chicken Francese?<\/h2>\n
This classic Italian-American recipe (also known as Chicken Francaise) is made with tender chicken cutlets fried in a crispy breading served with a buttery white wine lemon sauce. If you like chicken piccata, you\u2019ll love this dish too!<\/p>\n
\n
\n
It\u2019s an easy one-skillet dish<\/strong> that goes from the stovetop to the table in minutes, including the sauce!<\/li>\n
You\u2019ll find it\u2019s surprisingly easy to make<\/strong> and can be served over pasta, rice, or mashed potatoes.<\/li>\n
Double up the recipe<\/strong> and enjoy it all week long for dinners and lunches!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n
What You\u2019ll Need For Chicken Francese\u2026<\/h2>\n
Chicken: <\/strong>I use chicken cutlets or boneless skinless chicken breasts in this recipe. Chicken thighs are a great option as well.<\/p>\n
Breading:<\/strong> This basic breading has lemon juice and parmesan cheese. Feel free to use a gluten-free flour blend or crushed pork rinds for a low-carb coating.<\/p>\n
Sauce:<\/strong> For the best flavor, zest and squeeze lemon juice from fresh lemons. Grate parmesan yourself since pre-shredded parmesan has anti-caking agents that prevent it from melting. White wine balances out all the flavors for a perfectly savory sauce.<\/p>\n
Variations<\/h2>\n
\n
Add spinach, sliced mushrooms, capers, or sundried tomatoes to the sauce in Step 9.<\/li>\n
Fresh herbs like oregano, thyme, rosemary, or basil will add an aromatic and elegant touch to Chicken Francese. <\/li>\n
White wine can be replaced with extra chicken broth if that\u2019s all you have.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n
How to Make Chicken Francaise<\/h2>\n\n
Prepare the lemons and combine zest and flour.<\/li>\n
Whisk egg, lemon juice, seasonings, and parmesan.<\/li>\n
Dredge chicken pieces in both mixtures, pan fry, (recipe below<\/strong>), and transfer to a plate.<\/li>\n
Cook lemon slices and transfer to the plate with chicken.<\/li>\n
Cook garlic and flour, whisk in wine, broth, and lemon. <\/li>\n
Return chicken and lemon slices to the skillet and simmer.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n<\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n
What to Serve with Chicken Francese<\/h2>\n
Simple entrees call for simple sides. Roasted asparagus or butternut squash and some fluffy dinner rolls are perfect for soaking up all that tasty sauce!<\/p>\n
Storing Chicken Francese<\/h2>\n
\n
Keep leftovers in a covered container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Reheat chicken and sauce in the microwave or stovetop on medium-low heat.<\/li>\n
Enjoy leftover Chicken Francese hot or added to a cold chicken salad. Or slice and top onto a Caesar salad.<\/li>\n
Freeze cooled chicken separately from the sauce in quart-sized zippered bags for up to one month and thaw overnight in the refrigerator before reheating.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n
