Classic Chicken Francese Recipe

This incredibly easy-to-make Chicken Francese recipe is bursting with delicious lemon flavor and is the perfect weeknight meal. Your family and friends will beg for seconds of this.

Chicken Francese is a classic American-Italian recipe that is said to be founded in Rochester, New York. It’s a dish consisting of lightly battered chicken in seasoned flour and eggs that are fried and simmered in a tasty lemon-filled sauce.

While this recipe in its natural form is nothing short of delicious, it is incredibly versatile and can absolutely be customized to your liking. For example, you can change the protein from chicken to pork or beef. The sauce can be enhanced with fresh herbs or vegetables.

Ingredients for this recipe:

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 3 large eggs
• 4 chicken breasts sliced in half widthwise
• ¼ cup olive oil
• 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
• ¾ cup white wine
• 3 cups chicken stock
• ¼ cup fresh squeezed lemon juice
• salt and pepper to taste
• chopped parsley for garnish

Made this tonight for dinner. It was delicious and my my 14 year old loved it! He normally does not like lemon dishes. I served it with your spaghetti recipe but sautéed some garlic first and then added the pasta, pasta water and cheese. Used what I had ( Pinot Grigio) white wine and it came out perfect! Thank you!!!

Made this yesterday, was so good. I love that you give the great advice to just use what you already have. I live in a very remote area so to get groceries is an hour round trip and most stores do not even have most of the ingredients. have now watched several of your videos and am trying more. you make it so easy. thank you!
