Ingredients

For the Chicken

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (pounded to about ¼ inch thick)
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour (for dredging)
  • 3 large eggs
  • ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tbsp milk or water
  • Salt and black pepper (to taste)
  • 2–3 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter

For the Sauce

  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • ½ cup dry white wine (optional; replace with more broth if preferred)
  • 3 tbsp fresh lemon juice (about 1–2 lemons)
  • 3 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley (chopped, for garnish)
  • Lemon slices (for garnish)
Instructions

  1. Prepare the Chicken:

    • Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides.
    • Place the flour in a shallow bowl or plate for dredging.
    • In another bowl, whisk together the eggs, Parmesan cheese, milk (or water), and a pinch of salt.

  2. Dredge and Coat:

    • Dredge each chicken breast in the flour, shaking off excess.
    • Dip the floured chicken into the egg mixture, ensuring it is well-coated.

  3. Cook the Chicken:

    • Heat olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
    • Add the coated chicken breasts and cook for 3–4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside on a plate.

  4. Make the Sauce:

    • In the same skillet, add the chicken broth, white wine (if using), and lemon juice. Stir to deglaze the pan, scraping up any browned bits.
    • Let the mixture simmer for 2–3 minutes to reduce slightly.
    • Stir in the butter and let it melt, creating a rich, glossy sauce.

  5. Combine and Serve:

    • Return the cooked chicken to the skillet, spooning the sauce over the top. Let it simmer for another 2–3 minutes to meld the flavors.
    • Garnish with fresh parsley and lemon slices.

  6. Serve:

    • Serve the Chicken Française immediately over pasta, rice, or alongside a fresh salad or roasted vegetables.
