Chicken Francaise...
Cut chicken breast and make into cutlets that are 1/4 to 3/8 inch thick. Season with salt and pepper, then dredge them in AP flour. Heat up some olive and vegetable oil (50-50 mix) in a pan. Whisk an egg, and dip the chicken in the egg, and then place in pan:
Cook 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown:
Once done, place in warm oven...
Zest 1/2 of a lemon, then cut it in half and squeeze the juice from that half. Slice the other half in 1/4 inch thick slices. In a pan, melt some butter, and sauté the lemon slices for a few minutes each side:
Remove the lemon slices, and add to the pan 1 minced clove of garlic, 1/4 cup of dry white wine, and let the wine mostly evaporate. Then add in 1/4 cup of chicken stock, and simmer to reduce:
Then add a tablespoon of cubed butter with a small amount of flour, and whisk in to thicken the sauce over low heat. Then add the reserved lemon juice, the lemon zest, and some chopped parsley off heat to finish the sauce:
Serve over the chicken with the lemon slices:
And of course along with your side of choice...
