Chicken Francaise
Plain chicken breasts get an egg batter coating with lemon and garlic, then are treated to a lemony sauce that makes tchicken francaise an all time favorite chicken dish in our house.
Chicken breasts can be bland, or the texture just isn’t right in some recipes. Not this one. The chicken is flattened to perfection so you get thinner bites which are tender and firm at the same time. The lemon sauce is a tangy, creamy mate to the light breading…making it burst with flavor without getting the breading soggy. Every bite combines all the flavors seamlessly so your tastebuds never stop dancing. Viva Chicken Francaise!
