Quick Chicken Française
Ingredients
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • salt and ground black pepper to taste
  • 2 large eggs, beaten
  • 1 pound thin-sliced chicken breast cutlets
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil, or as needed
  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 1/4 cup lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 4 sprigs fresh parsley
  • 1 medium lemon, cut into wedges
Instructions
1
Acquire all necessary components.
2
Combine 2 cups of flour, salt, and pepper in a shallow dish. Mix eggs separately in another shallow container.
3
Coat chicken pieces with flour, ensuring to remove any excess. Dip into the beaten eggs, allowing any excess egg to fall back into the bowl.
4
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Sear chicken until it reaches a golden brown color, taking approximately 2 1/2 to 3 1/2 minutes per side; transfer the cooked chicken to a plate.
5
Melt butter in the same skillet over medium-low heat.
6
Combine 2 tablespoons of flour with melted butter, stirring until the mixture forms a smooth and light golden paste, taking about 5 minutes.
7
Slowly incorporate chicken broth and lemon juice into the flour mixture, bringing it to a gentle simmer. Continue cooking and stirring until the sauce thickens and becomes smooth, approximately 10 minutes.
8
Return the cooked chicken to the skillet. Continue simmering until the center of the chicken is no longer pink, taking around 10 to 15 minutes.
9
Finish by garnishing with fresh parsley and serving the dish with lemon wedges.
