Steps:
- 1.Over medium heat melt 1 tbsp of butter and 1 tbsp olive oil in large saucepan.
- 2.You'll need two shallow dishes, one for the eggwash and in the other combine 1/3 cup flour, 1 tsp salt, ½ tsp pepper, and ½ tsp paprika.
- 3.Pat THINLY sliced chicken dry (pound them thin, if you can't buy them thin) Dredge the chicken in the flour, shake off excess, and evenly coat in the egg wash. Then place in pan. You'll probably have to work in batches, depending on the size of your pan.
- 4.Brown the chicken on both sides on med-high heat, about 4 minutes on each side. Repeat steps until all the chicken has been browned and set aside.
- 5.Turn heat down to medium and add 1 tbsp of olive oil to pan. Sautee shallots until translucent, being careful not to burn. Add artichokes and turn the heat up to medium high so that artichokes will get a little crisp to them.
- 6.Return heat to medium. Push the artichokes and shallots to one side of the pan, leaving an area for you to melt a tbsp of butter and a tbsp of flour together. Whisk together to create a roux which will thicken the sauce.
- 7.Mix together roux, shallots, and artichokes in pan. Add chicken stock, white wine, lemon juice, ½ tsp of salt, and ½ tsp pepper, and parsley. Stir to make sure the roux dissolves evenly in the liquid to prevent clumping. Let sauce reduce and flavors connect for about 10 minutes.
- 8.Return chicken to pan and spoon sauce over so that it is completely immersed in the sauce. Cook the chicken thoroughly, about 7-10 minutes, depending on thickness of chicken.
- 9.Remove chicken and put on serving platter or plate and pour sauce over top.
CHICKEN PICCATA WITH ARTICHOKE HEARTS
After eating chicken piccata in many restaurants and finding many that were 'greasy,' I came up with this recipe through much trial and error. It has wonderful flavor and is even better the next day! I like to serve it over angel hair pasta or linguine.

WINE-BRAISED CHICKEN WITH ARTICHOKE HEARTS
Artichokes become weeknight friendly when they come from a can or a jar. Be sure to buy the unmarinated ones here. The gentle braise in rendered chicken fat and tangy white wine, mixed with onions and herbs, provides all the flavor the artichokes need.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 425 degrees. Season chicken on both sides with salt and pepper.
- Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large skillet over medium-high, and add chicken, skin-side down. Cook, without flipping, until the skin is deeply golden and much of the fat has rendered, 8 to 10 minutes. (You may need to pour off some of the fat.)
- Using tongs, flip the chicken skin-side up. Let the undersides cook for another 5 or so minutes. Set chicken aside. Add artichoke hearts and onions to the pan, letting them sizzle until they get a little color, 3 to 4 minutes.
- Add wine and thyme, shaking skillet to make sure the wine is evenly distributed and scraping up any golden-brown bits. Add chicken back to the pan, over the artichoke hearts and onions. Bring to a simmer and place in the oven until chicken has finished cooking and sauce is reduced by about half, 10 to 12 minutes.
- Remove chicken from oven and scatter with herbs. Finish with more pepper, a drizzle of olive oil, and a sprinkle of sumac, if you have it.

Steps:
- Place the chicken, in batches if necessary, in a large zipped bag (or between 2 sheets of plastic wrap). With a meat mallet, pound the chicken to 1/2-inch thickness. Cut each breast into thirds.
- Put the flour in a shallow dish, adding a pinch of salt, pepper and 1 teaspoon paprika. Take a heaping tablespoon and set aside for later use. In a second shallow dish, add the eggs. Mix in the Parmesan, 2 tablespoons parsley and a pinch of salt, pepper and paprika. Dredge each chicken cutlet in the flour and then the egg mixture, making sure to get all sides.
- Place a large saute pan over high heat and add 2 tablespoons olive oil and 2 tablespoons butter. Place the breaded chicken into the hot pan, 2 pieces at a time. Cook for 3 minutes, undisturbed. Flip and cook until the chicken has cooked through, reaching a temperature of 160 degrees F, about 3 more minutes. Remove the chicken from the pan and repeat the process with the remaining pieces of chicken.
- In the same saute pan over medium heat, add the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil, garlic, crushed red pepper and reserved seasoned flour. Cook until the garlic becomes aromatic, about 1 minute. Add the white wine and chicken stock and continue to cook for another minute. Add the bouillon powder, lemon zest and lemon juice and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the remaining 2 tablespoons butter to thicken the sauce. Taste for seasoning.
- Add the arugula to each dish or to 1 large platter. Place the chicken on top and drizzle with the sauce. Serve immediately.

Tips:
- To save time, use pre-sliced chicken breasts or chicken tenders.
- For a crispy coating, make sure the chicken is dry before dredging it in the flour mixture.
- Be careful not to overcrowd the pan when cooking the chicken. This will prevent it from cooking evenly.
- Use a non-stick skillet or a well-seasoned cast iron skillet to prevent the chicken from sticking.
- Cook the chicken over medium heat until it is golden brown and cooked through. This will take about 3-4 minutes per side.
- To make the lemon-butter sauce, use fresh lemon juice and unsalted butter. This will give the sauce the best flavor.
- Add the artichoke hearts to the sauce just before serving. This will prevent them from becoming tough.
- Serve the chicken francaise with your favorite sides, such as pasta, rice, or roasted vegetables.
