Chicken francese 👌




The chicken alla francese is a tasty and succulent second course, one of those dishes to prepare for a special occasion or when you want something delicious. The protagonist of the recipe is the chicken breast, a lean and often unappetizing cut of meat, here completely transformed and made irresistible.

Despite the name, however, the recipe does not have French origins but comes from the United States, where it has been reinterpreted according to their tastes and perspective. To bring it to the table, simply flour the slices of chicken breast, pass them in beaten egg and then cook them in a pan with a knob of butter until they are golden brown.

Once ready, they are left to flavor in a sauce made with their cooking bottom, onion, white wine, lemon juice and meat broth, then thickened with a tablespoon of flour. The result is a fragrant, tender and super creamy dish, to be completed with a side dish of baked potatoes or a mixed salad, and perfect to serve for any family lunch or dinner. Follow me in the kitchen today there are chicken cutlets alla francese!
