Easy and Delicious Chicken Francese Recipe

Ingredients

• 0.5 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
• 0.5 cup white wine
• 0.25 cup butter
• 2 medium lemons, juiced
• 1 teaspoon chopped fresh parsley
• salt and pepper to taste
• 2 teaspoons water
• 1 teaspoon cornstarch

Instructions

1. Gather all ingredients needed for the recipe.
2. Dredge each chicken cutlet in flour, shaking off any excess. Dip the floured chicken into the beaten egg mixture, allowing excess egg to drip back into the bowl. Press the chicken into flour again to ensure both sides are fully coated. Repeat this process with all remaining chicken cutlets.
3. Heat oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken and sauté until it is almost fully cooked, approximately 4 minutes on each side. Transfer the partially cooked chicken to a plate lined with paper towels to drain.
4. Preheat your oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish to prevent sticking.
5. In a medium saucepan, combine chicken broth, wine, butter, lemon juice, parsley, salt, and pepper. Heat over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until the butter is completely melted. In a separate small bowl, whisk together water and cornstarch until well combined. Add this mixture to the broth mixture and cook, stirring continuously, until the sauce thickens slightly, about 2 to 3 minutes.
6. Arrange the chicken in the prepared baking dish and pour the sauce evenly over the top.
7. Bake in the preheated oven until the chicken is fully cooked and the juices run clear, about 10 to 15 minutes. Use an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of a cutlet to ensure it reaches at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
