FLOUNDER FRANCAISE OR CHICKEN FRANCAISE



Flounder Francaise or Chicken Francaise image

I love this tangy lemon flavored sauce. It's quick, tasty and light. I serve it on a bed of buttered spaghetti or rice for my family. I'm a diabetic so I serve mine over spaghetti squash or zucchini. It's just perfect either way. You can use this recipe for chicken as well, just substitute 2 large chicken breasts, cut in half to make 4 thin fillets.

Time 20m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 eggs, beaten
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon butter
1/2 cup flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon onion powder
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/8 teaspoon paprika
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
4 large flounder fillets (1 1/2 to 2 lbs)
4 tablespoons butter
1/4 cup white wine
1/4 cup water
1/4 cup lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon parsley
lemon slices and parsley (to garnish) (optional)

Steps:

  • In a large skillet, heat the oil and 1 tablespoons of butter over medium heat.
  • Place the flour and all the seasonings in a plastic bag and shake to blend.
  • Place the beaten eggs in a shallow dish.
  • When the skillet is good and hot, put the flounder fillets in the bag one at a time and then dip in the egg. Coat them completely with the egg and place in skillet. The egg should sizzle immediately. If it doesn't, the oil isn't hot enough.
  • Save 1 tablespoon of the flour mixture for the sauce.
  • Fry over medium heat until brown on both sides, about 3 to 4 minutes per side. Add extra butter if you need to.
  • Remove from skillet, keep warm.
  • Discard any oil left in skillet and add the butter and the 1 tbsp of seasoned flour reserved from the flounder. Whisk until smooth. Add the rest of the sauce ingredients, stirring constantly until well blended. Bring to boil and cook 5 minutes, stirring frequently. If the sauce thickens too much, add more water- just 1 tsp at a time until you achieve the desired consistency.
  • To serve place flounder over a bed of buttered rice (or whatever you're using) and pour a little sauce over each fillet. Garnish with lemon slices and parsley.

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 eggs
6 ounces parmesan cheese
1 pinch parsley
8 ounces milk
2 cups chicken stock
1/2 cup lemon juice
1/2 cup sugar
4 (6 ounce) flounder fillets
12 (7/8 count) shrimp, cleaned and deveined
butter, to taste
lemon juice, to taste
white wine, to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat Oven: 350 degrees. Dip fillets in batter and cook in a nonstick pan with a small amount of cooking spray. Cook on both sides until fillets are golden brown. Place fillets on oven pan and bake for 5 to 6 minutes. Saute shrimp with a small amount of butter, lemon juice and white wine. Place on top of fillets and serve topped with sweet lemon sauce.

Tips:

  • Ensure the flounder is fresh and of good quality. Fresh flounder should have a mild, slightly briny smell and firm, white flesh.
  • Use a large skillet or sauté pan that can accommodate the flounder fillets in a single layer without overcrowding.
  • Heat the butter and oil over medium heat before adding the flounder fillets. This will help prevent the butter from burning and the fish from sticking to the pan.
  • Cook the flounder fillets for 3-4 minutes per side, or until they are cooked through. The fish is cooked when it flakes easily with a fork.
  • Serve the flounder fillets immediately with the lemon butter sauce and your favorite sides.

Conclusion:

Flounder Francaise is a classic French dish that is easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. The delicate flavor of the flounder is perfectly complemented by the rich and buttery sauce. This dish is sure to impress your guests, whether you are serving it for a special occasion or a casual weeknight meal.
