Delicious Easy Chicken Francese Recipe
Cook Time: 25 minutes
Ingredients:
- cup all-purpose flour
- 4 large eggs, beaten
- 1 pound skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
- 2 tablespoons olive oil (or as needed)
- 2 cups chicken broth
- cup white wine
- cup butter
- 2 medium lemons, juiced
- 1 teaspoon chopped fresh parsley
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 teaspoons water
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
Directions:
- Step 1: Gather all the ingredients and set them aside. Make sure everything is prepped and ready for cooking.
- Step 2: Dredge the chicken breasts in the flour, shaking off any excess. Then, dip the chicken into the beaten eggs. Allow the excess egg to drip back into the bowl, and then press the chicken into the flour again to coat both sides. Repeat this process with the remaining pieces of chicken.
- Step 3: Heat the olive oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add the chicken and saut for about 4 minutes per side, or until the chicken is almost cooked through. Transfer the chicken to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
- Step 4: Preheat your oven to 300F (150C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish and set it aside.
- Step 5: In a medium saucepan, combine the chicken broth, white wine, butter, lemon juice, parsley, salt, and pepper. Stir occasionally over medium-low heat until the butter melts and the ingredients are well combined.
- Step 6: In a small bowl, stir together the water and cornstarch until smooth. Add this mixture to the saucepan with the broth, and cook for 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
- Step 7: Place the sauted chicken breasts into the prepared baking dish and pour the sauce over the chicken.
- Step 8: Bake the chicken in the preheated oven for 10-15 minutes, or until the chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear. Use an instant-read thermometer to ensure the chicken has reached an internal temperature of at least 165F (74C).
