A simple yet elegant dish of tender chicken breasts coated in a crispy layer, served with a buttery lemon and white wine sauce.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/4 cup lemon juice
  • 1/2 cup white wine
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
  • Pasta or crusty bread for serving

Instructions

  1. Pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness and season with salt and pepper.
  2. Dredge each chicken breast in flour, then dip into the beaten eggs mixed with Parmesan cheese.
  3. Sauté the chicken by melting 2 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
  4. Cook the chicken until golden brown and fully cooked through, about 4-5 minutes per side.
  5. Deglaze the skillet with white wine and lemon juice, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom.
  6. Make the sauce by stirring in the remaining butter until melted and slightly thickened.
  7. Return the chicken to the skillet to coat it in the flavorful sauce.
  8. Serve the Chicken Francese over pasta or with warm, crusty bread, garnished with fresh parsley if desired.

Notes

For additional flavor, consider adding capers or fresh herbs to the sauce.
