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.
