30 Minute Chicken Francese Recipes

DEVILED CHICKEN FRANCESE

Steps:

• Gather your ingredients and a gel board to prepare chicken.
• Halve the chicken breasts horizontally and butterfly them. Use a mallet to thin meat or even it out if needed -- it depends on the size of the chicken breasts. Season meat with salt and pepper.
• Set a station up: Flour in shallow dish; eggs beaten with mustard, milk, salt, pepper and cheese; large frying pan with oil (4 to 5 turns of the pan); a baking sheet with wire rack inserted and lined with parchment paper to remove the chicken to.
• Preheat the oil in skillet over medium to medium-high heat. Coat chicken 2 at a time in flour, shake of excess, then in egg and allow excess to drip off. Cook chicken 3 to 4 minutes on each side. Repeat, removing cooked chicken to wire rack. Once chicken is cooked, slice and lightly brown 1 lemon; add to pan with chicken. Wipe excess oil from pan, return to heat and add butter. When it foams add 1 clove crushed garlic, juice of 1 lemon, wine and chili paste and reduce about 3 minutes. Add stock and reduce 5 minutes more. Pick and chop the parsley.
• Char the bread over gas burner or under broiler. Rub charred bread with halved garlic, drizzle with EVOO, sprinkle with flaky sea salt and cut bread into chunks.
• Add the chicken back to sauce and heat the meat through, 3 to 4 minutes, turning occasionally. Add the sliced lemons and coat with sauce. Add parsley and transfer to plates. Serve cutlets with a small handful of arugula leaves alongside and some charred bread for mopping.

Steps:

• Remove chicken skin, then butterfly cut your breast. (Hold a long shark knife along the thicker part of the breast, place your hand on top and slice through the breast almost until the end. Cut parallel to your cutting board, and open the breast like a book).
• Place cling film on a board, add your breast spread open, sandwich it in cling film and flatten using the flat side of a meat mallet or the underside of a saucepan.
• Crack the eggs into a dish large enough to fit chicken breast.
• Season eggs with salt and pepper, give them a light beat.
• Chop the parsley (keep a few sprigs for garnish) and add half to egg wash.
• Grate all the Parmesan cheese and add to egg-wash, mix well.
• Get your wine and chicken stock portions ready.
• Add the plain flour to a plate.
• Peel the garlic and place in garlic press (or chop finely).
• To a frying pan on moderate heat, add the olive oil and half the butter.
• Coat the chicken in the flour, shake off any excess flour.
• Dip the chicken in the egg wash, make sure it's totally covered and place in hot oil.
• Cook for approx 4 minutes each side (depending on thickness).
• Flip over once brown and cook the other side.
• Transfer chicken to a hot plate and rest.
• To the same frying pan on full heat, add the white wine (alcohol can catch fire so be careful, turn off heat first if unsure).
• Add the crushed garlic.
• Add the squeeze of half a lemon.
• Add the chicken stock.
• Add the remainder of chopped parsley.
• Add the remainder of butter and reduce for 2 minutes on full heat.
