BEST CHICKEN FRANCAISE



Best Chicken Francaise image

I have had this recipe for some time. I'm really not too sure where it originated. Chicken francaise is one of my favorites to order when my husband and I eat out.... Now we enjoy it at home too! I often double or even triple the sauce part of the recipe because I just love the taste of it. Serve over penne pasta. Perdue's thin slice chicken works well for this recipe.

Provided by kimvess

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 chicken breasts
Half cup plain flour
2 eggs
1 handful of fresh parsley
2 ounces (50-g) Parmesan cheese
1 cup white wine
1 cup chicken stock
1 garlic cloves
4 tablespoons olive oil
4 tablespoons butter
Half lemon
Salt and pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • Remove chicken skin, then butterfly cut your breast. (Hold a long shark knife along the thicker part of the breast, place your hand on top and slice through the breast almost until the end. Cut parallel to your cutting board, and open the breast like a book). Place cling film on a board, add your breast spread open, sandwich it in cling film and flatten using the flat side of a meat mallet or the underside of a saucepan. Season eggs with salt and pepper, give them a light beat. Chop the parsley (keep a few sprigs for garnish) and add half to egg wash. Grate all the Parmesan cheese and add to egg-wash, mix well. Add the plain flour to a plate. Peel the garlic and place in garlic press (or chop finely). To a frying pan on moderate heat, add the olive oil and half the butter. Coat the chicken in the flour, shake off any excess flour. Dip the chicken in the egg wash, make sure it's totally covered and place in hot oil. Cook chicken for approximately 4 minutes each side (depending on thickness). Flip over once brown and cook the other side. Transfer chicken to a hot plate and rest. To the same frying pan on full heat, add the white wine (alcohol can catch fire so be careful, turn off heat first if unsure). Add the crushed garlic. Add the squeeze of half a lemon. Add the chicken stock. Add the remainder of chopped parsley. Add the remainder of butter and reduce for 2 minutes on full heat. Return the chicken to the sauce and continue heating chicken on medium heat. Serve the chicken, and reduce the sauce until it looks a little thicker (not too thick) If wine is not for you, just double the amount of stock and leave the wine out. Add one quarter tsp of sugar.
