Chicken Francaise (Lemon Chicken in Wine Sauce) image

I started with a recipe found on the internet that reportedly was a favorite menu choice from "Tavern on the Green" restaurant in New York City. I don't know whether it's the actual recipe used at that restaurant, but it's quite good anyway. However, I made a few changes to increase the lemon flavor because the original recipe...

Categories     Chicken

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 13

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (6 ounces each)
1 cup flour (for dredging)
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp white pepper
2 large eggs
juice of 1 lemon (about 1-2 tablespoons)
4 Tbsp unsalted butter
2 small shallots
4 clove garlic, minced
8 oz white wine
3 Tbsp dijon-style whole grain mustard
4 oz heavy cream
4 lemon slices, for garnish

Steps:

  • 1. Mix together the flour, salt, and pepper in a shallow dish; set aside. In another shallow dish, beat eggs and lemon juice together; set aside.
  • 2. Pound chicken breasts between two sheets of plastic wrap to make uniform thickness for even cooking.
  • 3. Heat butter in a large skillet.
  • 4. While butter is heating, dredge chicken breasts in the flour mixture. Once the butter is melted, dip floured chicken breasts in the egg mixture, and sauté chicken breasts in the hot butter for three minutes. Reduce heat to medium, turn chicken over and add the shallots and garlic, and cook one more minute. Add wine and stir for about 2 minutes to deglaze the skillet. Season with salt and pepper if desired. Stir dijon mustard into the pan sauce and let sauce cook for two minutes to reduce slightly Add heavy cream to sauce and cook for another two minutes to thicken sauce slightly.
  • 5. To Serve - Place chicken on individual plates or place all on a large platter. Spoon pan sauce over each chicken breast. Garnish each serving with a fresh lemon slice, and serve immediately.

I've made this recipe several times and it's always a hit! The chicken is always tender and juicy, and the sauce is creamy and delicious. I usually serve it over pasta, but it's also great with rice or potatoes.

I'm not a big fan of chicken francese, but this recipe changed my mind. The chicken was crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside, and the sauce was creamy and tangy. I will definitely be making this again.

This recipe was a bit bland for my taste. I added some extra herbs and spices to the sauce and it was much better. I will definitely be making this again, but with my own adjustments.
