Steps:
- 1.Over medium heat melt 1 tbsp of butter and 1 tbsp olive oil in large saucepan.
- 2.You'll need two shallow dishes, one for the eggwash and in the other combine 1/3 cup flour, 1 tsp salt, ½ tsp pepper, and ½ tsp paprika.
- 3.Pat THINLY sliced chicken dry (pound them thin, if you can't buy them thin) Dredge the chicken in the flour, shake off excess, and evenly coat in the egg wash. Then place in pan. You'll probably have to work in batches, depending on the size of your pan.
- 4.Brown the chicken on both sides on med-high heat, about 4 minutes on each side. Repeat steps until all the chicken has been browned and set aside.
- 5.Turn heat down to medium and add 1 tbsp of olive oil to pan. Sautee shallots until translucent, being careful not to burn. Add artichokes and turn the heat up to medium high so that artichokes will get a little crisp to them.
- 6.Return heat to medium. Push the artichokes and shallots to one side of the pan, leaving an area for you to melt a tbsp of butter and a tbsp of flour together. Whisk together to create a roux which will thicken the sauce.
- 7.Mix together roux, shallots, and artichokes in pan. Add chicken stock, white wine, lemon juice, ½ tsp of salt, and ½ tsp pepper, and parsley. Stir to make sure the roux dissolves evenly in the liquid to prevent clumping. Let sauce reduce and flavors connect for about 10 minutes.
- 8.Return chicken to pan and spoon sauce over so that it is completely immersed in the sauce. Cook the chicken thoroughly, about 7-10 minutes, depending on thickness of chicken.
- 9.Remove chicken and put on serving platter or plate and pour sauce over top.

ARTICHOKE HEARTS A LA FRANCESE
"For me, anything prepared Francese style - that is, made with lemon, wine, butter and capers - is a rich and wonderful treat. You can serve these delicious artichoke hearts as a side dish or over toasted slices of Italian bread, crostini, for a terrific appetizer. Be sure to spoon the luscious juices over the artichoke hearts as you serve them." - Chef Claire Criscuolo at her restaurant Claire's Corner Copia.

Steps:
- Squeeze 1 lemon half into large bowl of cold water. Working with 1 artichoke at a time, trim all but 1 inch from artichoke stem.

Thinly slice artichoke heart and place in bowl of lemon water. Repeat with remaining artichokes.

- Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in heavy large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 3 chicken breasts and cook until golden brown and just cooked through, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer chicken to another plate. Repeat with 1 tablespoon oil and remaining chicken breasts.

WINE-BRAISED CHICKEN WITH ARTICHOKE HEARTS
Artichokes become weeknight friendly when they come from a can or a jar. Be sure to buy the unmarinated ones here. The gentle braise in rendered chicken fat and tangy white wine, mixed with onions and herbs, provides all the flavor the artichokes need.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 425 degrees. Season chicken on both sides with salt and pepper.
- Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large skillet over medium-high, and add chicken, skin-side down. Cook, without flipping, until the skin is deeply golden and much of the fat has rendered, 8 to 10 minutes. (You may need to pour off some of the fat.)
- Using tongs, flip the chicken skin-side up. Let the undersides cook for another 5 or so minutes. Set chicken aside. Add artichoke hearts and onions to the pan, letting them sizzle until they get a little color, 3 to 4 minutes.
- Add wine and thyme, shaking skillet to make sure the wine is evenly distributed and scraping up any golden-brown bits. Add chicken back to the pan, over the artichoke hearts and onions. Bring to a simmer and place in the oven until chicken has finished cooking and sauce is reduced by about half, 10 to 12 minutes.
- Remove chicken from oven and scatter with herbs. Finish with more pepper, a drizzle of olive oil, and a sprinkle of sumac, if you have it.
Tips:
- Use a good quality chicken: Opt for free-range or organic chicken for the best flavor and texture.
- Pound the chicken breasts thin: This will help them cook evenly and quickly.
- Season the chicken well: Use a combination of salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder to flavor the chicken.
- Use a nonstick skillet: This will prevent the chicken from sticking and burning.
- Cook the chicken over medium heat: This will help to prevent the chicken from overcooking and becoming dry.
- Add the artichoke hearts and lemon juice towards the end of cooking: This will ensure that the artichoke hearts are not overcooked and the lemon juice does not overpower the other flavors.
- Serve immediately: Chicken Francaise is best served hot, so make sure to have all of your sides ready before you start cooking the chicken.
Conclusion:
Chicken Francaise is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The combination of tender chicken, artichoke hearts, and lemon is sure to please everyone at the table. So next time you are looking for a quick and flavorful dinner, give Chicken Francaise a try.
