Tips:
- Make sure to use boneless, skinless chicken breasts for this recipe. Boneless, skinless chicken thighs can also be used, but they will take longer to cook.
- To make sure the chicken is cooked evenly, use a meat thermometer to check that it has reached an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
- If you don't have white wine on hand, you can substitute chicken broth or water. However, white wine will give the chicken a more flavorful taste.
- If you don't have heavy cream, you can substitute milk or half and half. However, heavy cream will give the sauce a richer, more velvety texture.
- Serve Chicken Francese with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, rice, or pasta.
