Chicken Francese





Ingredients:


2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts


Garlic powder


Kosher salt


Fresh Black pepper


Flour (for dusting the chicken)


2 eggs


1 tablespoon whole milk or heavy cream


3 tablespoons butter, divided


2 cups chicken stock


1/2 cup dry white wine


1 tablespoon cornstarch mixed with 1 tablespoon of water


2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice


Lemon slices


Instructions


Step 1:


Season the chicken breast generously, on both sides, with the garlic powder, salt and pepper.


If your chicken breasts are very thick, slice them in half horizontally first.


Step 2:


Add the flour to a shallow plate or bowl, then add the eggs to another bowl and beat them with the milk or cream.


Step 3:


Dredge the chicken breasts in the flour, tapping off the excess and place on a plate.


Once the chicken breasts have been coated in the flour, add 2 tablespoons of butter to a large skillet over medium heat.


Step 4:


Dip the chicken into the egg mixture, letting the excess drip off and then place into the hot skillet.


Repeat with the remaining chicken breasts.


Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and then remove the chicken from the skillet to a plate and cover with foil.


Step 5:


Carefully pour in the wine to deglaze the skillet and let reduce for 1 minute.


Add the chicken stock, lemon juice and the remaining tablespoon of butter, stirring to combine.


Bring the sauce to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes, then add the cornstarch mixture and whisk to combine with the sauce.


Step 6:


Bring the sauce back to a simmer, add the chicken breasts back to the skillet and top with the fresh lemon slices.


Simmer the chicken for 8-10 minutes over low heat, spooning the sauce over the chicken as it cooks.


Cover to keep warm or serve immediately.
