Provided by Tyler Florence

Categories     main-dish

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

4 skinless, boneless, chicken breasts (about 11/2 pounds)
All-purpose flour, for dredging
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 large eggs
3 tablespoons water
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 lemon, with rind, cut in thin rounds
1/2 cup dry white wine, such as Pinot Grigio
1 cup chicken broth
1/2 lemon, juiced
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/4 cup chopped flat-leaf parsley

Steps:

  • Put the chicken breasts side by side on a cutting board and lay a piece of plastic wrap over them. Pound the chicken breasts with a flat meat mallet, until they are about 1/4-inch thick. Put some flour in a shallow platter and season with a fair amount of salt and pepper; mix with a fork to distribute evenly. In a wide bowl, beat the eggs with 3 tablespoons of water to make an egg wash. Heat the oil over medium-high flame in a large skillet.
  • Dredge both sides of the chicken cutlets in the seasoned flour, and then dip them in the egg wash to coat completely, letting the excess drip off. When the oil is nice and hot, add the cutlets and fry for 2 minutes on each side until golden, turning once. Remove the chicken cutlets to a large platter in a single layer to keep warm.
  • Toss the lemon slices into the pan and cook for 1 to 2 minutes, until fragrant. Add the wine, broth, and lemon juice, simmer for 5 minutes to reduce the sauce slightly. Roll the butter in some flour and add it to the skillet, this will thicken the sauce. Stir to incorporate and dissolve the flour. Reduce the heat to medium-low and return the chicken to the pan; place the lemon slices on top of the cutlets. Simmer gently for 2 minutes to heat the chicken through. Season with salt and pepper and garnish with chopped parsley before serving.

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.

GROUPER PICCATA image

Categories     Fish

Yield servers about 4 to 8

Number Of Ingredients 11

2-4 large grouper filets
Salt and pepper to taste
1/3-1/2 cup flour
1/4 - 1/3 cup olive oil
1 clove garlic, minced
1/2 cup dry white wine
1/3-1/2 cup chicken stock
1 lemon
2-3 tablespoon drained capers
1/2 stick unsalted butter
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh parsley

Steps:

  • Season the fish with salt and pepper, coat with flour, shaking to remove any excess. Heat the oil in a 12-inch cast-iron skillet, add the fish and sauté for 2 to 2 1/2 minutes or until lightly browned. Then turn carefully and sauté on the other side for 2 to 2 1/2 minutes or until light brown. Remove the fish and place on a warm platter on the bottom rack in a 200-degree oven. Add the garlic to the skillet and sauté for 10 about seconds, then add the wine to the skillet, stirring with a wooden spoon to scrape up the yummy browned bits. Simmer until reduced by half, stir in the chicken stock and the juice of 1/2 of the lemon. Simmer until reduced by half again, adding the capers and simmering for about 1 minute at the end, then remove from the heat and add the butter, stirring until melted. Stir in the fresh parsley, spoon out the sauce over the fish and garnish w/thinly sliced lemon (the half you have left from above).

Tips:

  • Choose the right grouper. Look for a firm, white fish with a mild flavor. Avoid fish that is soft or has a strong odor.
  • Use a good quality white wine. A dry white wine, such as a Sauvignon Blanc or Pinot Grigio, will work best.
  • Don't overcook the fish. Grouper is a delicate fish that cooks quickly. Overcooking will make it tough and dry.
  • Serve the fish immediately. Grouper Francaise is best served hot out of the pan.

Conclusion:

Grouper Francaise is a classic French dish that is both elegant and delicious. It is a perfect choice for a special occasion dinner. With its delicate flavor and simple preparation, Grouper Francaise is sure to impress your guests.
