Ingredients
- 3 boneless skinless chicken breasts
- salt and pepper to taste
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter divided
- 1/2 cup chicken broth
- Juice from 2 lemons about ¼ cup
- 1/4 cup dry white wine
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley for garnish
- lemon slices for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Start by pounding the chicken breasts between two pieces of plastic wrap until they are about 1/4-inch thick. Season both sides with salt and pepper.
- In a shallow dish, whisk together the flour, salt, and pepper. In another shallow dish, beat the eggs and mix in the grated Parmesan cheese.
- Dip each chicken breast into the flour mixture, shaking off any excess. Then dip it into the egg mixture, making sure it's coated evenly.
- Heat the olive oil and 2 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the butter has melted and the skillet is hot, add the chicken breasts. Cook for about 3-4 minutes per side, until they are golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter, chicken broth, lemon juice, and white wine. Stir well and bring to a simmer. Cook for 2-3 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly and the alcohol in the wine to cook off.
- Return the cooked chicken breasts to the skillet, coating them with the sauce. Cook for an additional 2 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
- Serve the Chicken Francese immediately while it's hot. It pairs well with pasta, rice, or a side of steamed vegetables. Garnish with lemon slices and fresh parsley if desired. Enjoy!
