Ingredients

To prepare this delicious Chicken Francesa, you will need the following ingredients:

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 cup of all-purpose flour
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 cup of breadcrumbs
  • 1/2 cup of grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/4 cup of olive oil
  • 1/4 cup of butter
  • 1 cup of chicken broth
  • 1 lemon (juiced)
  • 2 tablespoons of fresh parsley (chopped)
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

Follow these simple steps to create your own Chicken Francesa:

  1. Start by prepping your chicken. Gently pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness of about 1/2 inch. This helps them cook evenly.
  2. Set up a breading station: in one bowl, place the flour, in the second bowl, beat the egg, and in the third, combine breadcrumbs with grated Parmesan cheese.
  3. Season the chicken with salt and pepper. Then, dredge each piece in flour, dip in the egg, and finally coat in the breadcrumb mixture.
  4. In a large skillet, heat olive oil and butter over medium heat. Once hot, add the breaded chicken breasts. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through.
  5. Once the chicken is done, remove from the skillet and keep warm. In the same skillet, add the chicken broth and lemon juice, scraping up any brown bits from the bottom of the pan. Let it simmer for about 3 minutes.
  6. Return the chicken to the skillet, coating it in the sauce for an additional minute. Sprinkle with fresh parsley before serving.
  7. Serve the Chicken Francesa with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes or a fresh salad. Enjoy!
