Chicken francese is a fast and easy dish everyone will love.

To complete this How-To you will need:

½ c. all-purpose flour
Salt
Pepper
4 eggs
3 tbsp. water
¼ c. olive oil
1 ½ lb. boneless chicken breasts, thinly sliced
½ c. white wine
½ lemon, juiced
1 c. chicken broth
2 tbsp. butter
3 tbsp. parsley
A platter
½ c. egg whites (optional)
Fat-free chicken broth (optional)

Step 1: Season flour

Put the flour in a shallow bowl and season with salt and pepper.

Step 2: Beat eggs

Beat the eggs and water in a separate bowl.

Tip: For a lighter dish, use egg whites.

Step 3: Heat oil

Heat the oil over medium heat in a large skillet.

Step 4: Coat chicken

Coat the chicken with flour, and then drag it through the egg wash.

Step 5: Add chicken to pan

Add the chicken once the skillet is hot. Saute until the chicken is cooked through, two to four minutes on each side, depending on thickness. Transfer it to the platter.

Step 6: Add rest of ingredients

After all of the chicken is cooked, add the wine, lemon juice, and stock to the skillet and simmer for five minutes. Roll the butter in flour, add it to the skillet, and stir it for two additional minutes.

Tip: Use fat-free chicken broth for a lighter dish.

Step 7: Turn off heat

Turn off the heat and pour the sauce on the chicken. Season with salt and pepper and garnish with the chopped parsley.

@princemohsin Why not? You are not affected by alcohol when it is in food... the alcohol is physically burned away when the food is cooked, so you cannot get drunk or have alcohol related health effects from eating food with wine in it.

If you dont use alcoholic products in food, do you eat bread? Yeast produces alcohol as it rises the bread, but the yeast is killed and the alcohol is burned as the bread cooks.

I made this today, substituting more chicken broth for the wine. I'm not a big fan of meat only tasting good based on the stuff you put on it after it's cooked, and this seemed to be the case. I tried the chicken without the sauce and it was pretty bland, it was just egg and chicken flavor. I wish the directions would say how much salt and pepper, because maybe that's were the flavor was lacking. The sauce was actually pretty good, thickened with the floured butter.

the subsitute for the wine would be to make something else geez ppl are acting like they r going to get drunk lol

@princemohsin grape juice duh!

[frantahouska]

@princemohsin lemon juice will do.

[missmaximaaltje]

people! the alcohol in the wine evaporates. it's just for te flavour. te alcohol just kind of goes away. so don't worry if you're not of legal age :)

[brwneydgirl70]

@princemohsin there really isn't an alternitive. If you're underage ask an adult to buy some cooking wine. The alcohol doesn't affect you when it has been cooked
