Time 30m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 12

¼ cup all-purpose flour, or as needed
salt and black pepper to taste
2 eggs, beaten
1 tablespoon white sugar
1 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons olive oil
4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
¼ cup butter
2 teaspoons minced garlic
¼ cup dry sherry
¼ cup lemon juice
2 teaspoons low-sodium chicken base

Steps:

  • Mix together the flour, salt, and pepper in a shallow bowl. In another bowl, whisk beaten eggs, sugar, and Parmesan cheese until the mixture is thoroughly blended and the sugar has dissolved.
  • Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat until the oil shimmers. Dip the chicken breasts into the flour mixture, then into the egg mixture, and gently lay them into the skillet. Pan-fry the chicken breasts until golden brown and no longer pink in the middle, about 6 minutes on each side. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
  • In the same skillet over medium-low heat, melt the butter, and stir in garlic, sherry, lemon juice, and chicken base. Bring the sauce to a simmer, and stir until smooth and slightly thickened, about 5 minutes. Be sure to dissolve any brown flavor bits from the bottom of the skillet as you stir. Return the chicken breasts to the sauce, and gently simmer until no longer pink in the center, about 15 minutes.
  • To serve, place a chicken breast on a plate, and top with sauce.

CHICKEN FRENCH



Chicken French image

This "French" recipe is a distant cousin to an Italian sauteed veal dish called vitello francese, which uses a sauce similar to ones used in France.

Time 1h

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 15

For the Chicken:
1 1/2 lb. boneless, skinless chicken breast (sliced or pounded-out, into 1/4-in thick pieces)
4 eggs, plus 2 tablespoon milk (beaten)
1 cup flour
1 tablespoon salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
Cayenne to taste
2 tablespoon olive oil , plus 1 tablespoon butter (for sautéing)
For the Sauce:
Juice of 2 lemons
1/2 cup good white wine or dry sherry
1 cup vegetable broth or chicken stock
4 tablespoon cold butter (cut into cubes)
1 tablespoon chopped Italian parsley
Salt and fresh ground black pepper (to taste)

Steps:

  • Season chicken pieces on both sides with salt and fresh ground black pepper. Place the flour, salt, pepper, and cayenne in a baking dish and mix well.
  • Combine the beaten eggs and milk in another dish. Dredge the chicken, one at a time, in the flour to coat both sides and then transfer into the dish of eggs. Turn the chicken in the egg to coat both sides, and leave in the egg.
  • Once all the chicken is floured and transferred into the dish of eggs, place in the refrigerator until needed. In a large non-stick skillet, melt the butter in the olive oil over med-low heat, until it begins to sizzle slightly. Lift the chicken pieces out of the egg mixture, allowing the excess to drip off, and sauté for 2 to 3 minutes per side until golden brown. Cook in batches and keep warm in a very low oven.
  • When all the chicken is cooked, add the lemon juice, wine, and broth to the pan. Bring to a boil over high heat until reduced by half. Turn off the pan, and add the parsley and cold butter to the pan. Whisk until the butter melts. Taste for salt and pepper, and adjust.
  • Place the chicken on warm plates and spoon over the sauce. Serve immediately.

ARTICHOKES FRENCH



Artichokes French image

We used to enjoy this dish a lot while living in western NY. It is not so popular in all areas of the country. When we moved away from the area a friend passed this recipe on to me, knowing how much my family enjoyed it so, that we could enjoy it regardless of where we were living. If you like dishes like chicken french, veal french, etc. & you are a fan of artichokes, this too will become a favorite.

CHICKEN FRANCESE



Chicken Francese image

Chicken francese, sometimes called chicken French, is one of those rare restaurant dishes that's truly easy to cook at home. If you can make chicken cutlets, you can make this lemony, buttery recipe; the only difference is an easy pan sauce that brightens the whole plate. This version includes lemon slices browned in butter, which are pretty and tasty but entirely optional. Although the name suggests that it's a French or Italian dish ("Francese" means French in Italian), it's actually neither: Like spaghetti and meatballs, it's a mostly Italian-American invention. Serve with something starchy to soak up every drop of the sauce; pasta is traditional.

Time 35m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 eggs
2 tablespoons whole milk
1 teaspoon salt, plus more for seasoning
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper, plus more for seasoning
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/3 cup olive oil
1/3 cup vegetable oil
4 to 6 large boneless, skinless chicken cutlets (buy the cutlets thinly sliced, or buy regular boneless breasts and slice them in half horizontally to make thin pieces)
3 to 6 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 lemon, thinly sliced, seeds removed (optional)
1/2 cup dry white wine
Freshly squeezed juice of 1 lemon, more to taste
2 cups chicken stock
3 to 4 tablespoons freshly minced parsley

Steps:

  • In a wide, shallow bowl, whisk eggs, milk, salt and pepper until blended. Place the flour in a separate bowl. Line a baking sheet with paper towels.
  • In a wide skillet, heat olive and vegetable oils over medium heat until shimmering.
  • Working in batches to avoid crowding the pan, lightly dredge the chicken in flour and shake off any excess. Dip into egg batter, let excess batter drip back into the bowl and place in the skillet. Fry, turning once, until golden brown on both sides, about 4 minutes per side. Adjust the heat as the cutlets cook so they brown slowly and evenly, with a steady bubbling. Transfer to the paper-towel-lined pan and repeat with remaining cutlets.
  • When all cutlets are browned, remove the pan from the heat and pour off the oil. Wipe out the pan with paper towels. Return the pan to low heat.
  • If making the lemon slices (if not, skip to Step 6 below): Melt 3 tablespoons of the butter and then scatter the lemon slices over the bottom of the pan. Cook, stirring gently occasionally, until the lemon slices are golden and browning around the edges, about 3 minutes. Scoop out the lemon slices and set them aside.
  • Add 3 tablespoons of butter, the wine and lemon juice and bring to a boil. Boil until the liquid is syrupy, 3 to 4 minutes. Pour in the stock, bring to a boil and cook until thickened into a sauce, about 5 minutes. (It will thicken more when you add the cutlets.) Taste and adjust the seasonings with lemon, salt and pepper; it should be quite lemony and not too salty.
  • Reduce the heat, tuck the cutlets into the pan and simmer very gently until the sauce is velvety and the chicken pieces are heated through, about 4 minutes. Turn the cutlets over occasionally in the sauce. Place the browned lemon slices on top. Sprinkle with chopped parsley and serve, spooning some of the sauce over each serving.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality chicken: Look for fresh, boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs.
  • Pound the chicken breasts or thighs thinly: This will help them cook evenly and quickly.
  • Use a well-seasoned breading: The breading should be flavorful and well-coated on the chicken.
  • Fry the chicken in hot oil: This will help it get a crispy coating.
  • Cook the chicken until it is golden brown and cooked through: Overcooking will make the chicken dry and tough.
  • Serve the chicken with your favorite sides: Mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a salad are all great options.
