**Chicken Française: A Culinary Delight with a French Twist**

Chicken Française is a classic French-American dish that combines the flavors of lemon, butter, and white wine to create a succulent and elegant entrée. This dish features tender chicken breasts coated in a crispy, golden-brown breading, then pan-fried to perfection and finished with a luscious sauce made from butter, lemon juice, and white wine. The result is a symphony of flavors that will tantalize your taste buds and leave you craving more.

**Recipe Variations:**

1. **Traditional Chicken Française:** This recipe stays true to the classic preparation, using simple ingredients like flour, eggs, and breadcrumbs for the breading, and a combination of butter, lemon juice, and white wine for the sauce.

2. **Chicken Française with Herbs:** This variation adds a touch of freshness and complexity with the addition of herbs like thyme, rosemary, and parsley. The herbs are incorporated into the breading and the sauce, infusing the dish with their aromatic flavors.

3. **Chicken Française with Sun-Dried Tomatoes:** This recipe adds a Mediterranean flair with the inclusion of sun-dried tomatoes. The tomatoes are rehydrated and added to the sauce, giving it a vibrant color and a sweet-tart flavor that complements the chicken perfectly.

4. **Chicken Française with Mushrooms:** This variation incorporates sautéed mushrooms into the dish, adding an earthy and umami flavor. The mushrooms are added to the sauce along with the lemon juice and white wine, creating a rich and satisfying sauce that pairs wonderfully with the crispy chicken.

5. **Chicken Française with Capers:** This recipe adds a briny and tangy touch with the addition of capers. The capers are added to the sauce along with the lemon juice and white wine, creating a complex and flavorful sauce that complements the chicken beautifully.

Categories     main-dish

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

4 skinless, boneless, chicken breasts (about 11/2 pounds)
All-purpose flour, for dredging
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 large eggs
3 tablespoons water
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 lemon, with rind, cut in thin rounds
1/2 cup dry white wine, such as Pinot Grigio
1 cup chicken broth
1/2 lemon, juiced
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/4 cup chopped flat-leaf parsley

Steps:

  • Put the chicken breasts side by side on a cutting board and lay a piece of plastic wrap over them. Pound the chicken breasts with a flat meat mallet, until they are about 1/4-inch thick. Put some flour in a shallow platter and season with a fair amount of salt and pepper; mix with a fork to distribute evenly. In a wide bowl, beat the eggs with 3 tablespoons of water to make an egg wash. Heat the oil over medium-high flame in a large skillet.
  • Dredge both sides of the chicken cutlets in the seasoned flour, and then dip them in the egg wash to coat completely, letting the excess drip off. When the oil is nice and hot, add the cutlets and fry for 2 minutes on each side until golden, turning once. Remove the chicken cutlets to a large platter in a single layer to keep warm.
  • Toss the lemon slices into the pan and cook for 1 to 2 minutes, until fragrant. Add the wine, broth, and lemon juice, simmer for 5 minutes to reduce the sauce slightly. Roll the butter in some flour and add it to the skillet, this will thicken the sauce. Stir to incorporate and dissolve the flour. Reduce the heat to medium-low and return the chicken to the pan; place the lemon slices on top of the cutlets. Simmer gently for 2 minutes to heat the chicken through. Season with salt and pepper and garnish with chopped parsley before serving.

CHICKEN FRANCESE



Chicken Francese image

Chicken francese, sometimes called chicken French, is one of those rare restaurant dishes that's truly easy to cook at home. If you can make chicken cutlets, you can make this lemony, buttery recipe; the only difference is an easy pan sauce that brightens the whole plate. This version includes lemon slices browned in butter, which are pretty and tasty but entirely optional. Although the name suggests that it's a French or Italian dish ("Francese" means French in Italian), it's actually neither: Like spaghetti and meatballs, it's a mostly Italian-American invention. Serve with something starchy to soak up every drop of the sauce; pasta is traditional.

Time 35m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 eggs
2 tablespoons whole milk
1 teaspoon salt, plus more for seasoning
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper, plus more for seasoning
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/3 cup olive oil
1/3 cup vegetable oil
4 to 6 large boneless, skinless chicken cutlets (buy the cutlets thinly sliced, or buy regular boneless breasts and slice them in half horizontally to make thin pieces)
3 to 6 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 lemon, thinly sliced, seeds removed (optional)
1/2 cup dry white wine
Freshly squeezed juice of 1 lemon, more to taste
2 cups chicken stock
3 to 4 tablespoons freshly minced parsley

Steps:

  • In a wide, shallow bowl, whisk eggs, milk, salt and pepper until blended. Place the flour in a separate bowl. Line a baking sheet with paper towels.
  • In a wide skillet, heat olive and vegetable oils over medium heat until shimmering.
  • Working in batches to avoid crowding the pan, lightly dredge the chicken in flour and shake off any excess. Dip into egg batter, let excess batter drip back into the bowl and place in the skillet. Fry, turning once, until golden brown on both sides, about 4 minutes per side. Adjust the heat as the cutlets cook so they brown slowly and evenly, with a steady bubbling. Transfer to the paper-towel-lined pan and repeat with remaining cutlets.
  • When all cutlets are browned, remove the pan from the heat and pour off the oil. Wipe out the pan with paper towels. Return the pan to low heat.
  • If making the lemon slices (if not, skip to Step 6 below): Melt 3 tablespoons of the butter and then scatter the lemon slices over the bottom of the pan. Cook, stirring gently occasionally, until the lemon slices are golden and browning around the edges, about 3 minutes. Scoop out the lemon slices and set them aside.
  • Add 3 tablespoons of butter, the wine and lemon juice and bring to a boil. Boil until the liquid is syrupy, 3 to 4 minutes. Pour in the stock, bring to a boil and cook until thickened into a sauce, about 5 minutes. (It will thicken more when you add the cutlets.) Taste and adjust the seasonings with lemon, salt and pepper; it should be quite lemony and not too salty.
  • Reduce the heat, tuck the cutlets into the pan and simmer very gently until the sauce is velvety and the chicken pieces are heated through, about 4 minutes. Turn the cutlets over occasionally in the sauce. Place the browned lemon slices on top. Sprinkle with chopped parsley and serve, spooning some of the sauce over each serving.

BEST CHICKEN FRANCAISE



Best Chicken Francaise image

I have had this recipe for some time. I'm really not too sure where it originated. Chicken francaise is one of my favorites to order when my husband and I eat out.... Now we enjoy it at home too! I often double or even triple the sauce part of the recipe because I just love the taste of it. Serve over penne pasta. Perdue's thin slice chicken works well for this recipe.

Tips:

  • To achieve the best results, make sure to use boneless, skinless chicken breasts that are of similar size and thickness. This will ensure even cooking.
  • Use a heavy-bottomed skillet or sauté pan to cook the chicken. This will help prevent the chicken from sticking and will also help to create a nice golden brown crust.
  • Be careful not to overcrowd the pan when cooking the chicken. If the pan is too crowded, the chicken will not cook evenly and will likely end up steamed instead of fried.
  • Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of the chicken to ensure that it is cooked through. The chicken is cooked when it reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Serve the chicken française immediately with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, rice, or pasta.

Conclusion:

Chicken française is a classic French dish that is easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. This dish is perfect for a weeknight meal or for a special occasion. With its crispy, golden brown crust and tender, juicy interior, chicken française is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
