Chicken Francese image

I grew up on this tender, lemony chicken Francese recipe that's a classic in Italian cooking. It's delicious as is, but we sometimes add sauteed mushrooms. Serve it with pasta or crusty bread to mop up all that delicious pan sauce. -Joe Losardo, Taste of Home Executive Marketing Manager

This was my first time making chicken francese and it turned out great! The chicken was juicy and flavorful, and the sauce was creamy and lemony. I will definitely be making this again.
