CHICKEN FRANCAISE
A lot of times, Chicken Francaise can be hard to pull off, and have it taste good. This recipe, adapted from the show Food 911 on the Food Network, is a great dish, and it's surprisingly healthy as it doesn't really use all that much oil.

Steps:
- Mix a decent amount of salt and pepper with the flour to make a dredging mixture. You don't need any more than a cup of flour; you're just giving them a light dusting.
- Using a meat pounder, pound the chicken breasts flat so that they are about the size of your hand.
- Dredge the chicken breasts through the flour. When you pull them out, give them a few good slaps so that the extra flour falls off. You want a very light coating, this isn't supposed to be like batter.
- Crack the two eggs into a flat bowl, pierce the yolks with a fork, and scramble them slightly. Combine with about a quarter cup of water to make a light egg wash. It should be pale yellow in color.
- Run the chicken through the egg wash. Keep in mind this is a wash, not a bath. You don't want it soaking in egg, just enough to keep it wet and absorb the flour coating.
- Heat the quarter cup of olive oil in a large fry pan on medium-high heat, and when it is smoking hot, place the chicken into the pan. Cook for 1-2 minutes on each side. You will know when it is ready to flip when the chicken has a nice, slightly browned color and a crisp texture. Remove the chicken from the pan.
- Cut your lemon in half. Using one half, make several paper thin slices of lemon. Save the other half.
- Turn the stove up to high heat, and drop the lemon slices into the frying pan. Wait for them to caramellize and take on a slightly gummy texture.
- Pour in the 1/2 cup of white wine. I recommend Yellowtail Pinto Grigio because it's not too expensive, you can drink it with the meal, and the sweetness of it counteracts the sour of the lemon. Let the sauce reduce for 30 seconds to one minute.
- Sprinkle in salt to taste, and then add in the cup of chicken broth. Allow it to reduce again.
- Take your butter, and dredge it in the flour. Break it up into chunks and drop it into the sauce, swirling it around and allowing the sauce to thicken.
- Once the sauce has thickened sufficiently, put the chicken breasts back into the pan. Coat them thoroughly with the sauce, and let them cook for about another minute or two to warm them back up.
- Transfer to a serving platter, putting a few slices of lemon on top of each chicken breast, and then drizzle the sauce over the whole concoction.
- Garnish with flat-leaf parsley, or whatever greenery you think would go good with the meal.

Steps:
- Place the chicken, in batches if necessary, in a large zipped bag (or between 2 sheets of plastic wrap). With a meat mallet, pound the chicken to 1/2-inch thickness. Cut each breast into thirds.
- Put the flour in a shallow dish, adding a pinch of salt, pepper and 1 teaspoon paprika. Take a heaping tablespoon and set aside for later use. In a second shallow dish, add the eggs. Mix in the Parmesan, 2 tablespoons parsley and a pinch of salt, pepper and paprika. Dredge each chicken cutlet in the flour and then the egg mixture, making sure to get all sides.
- Place a large saute pan over high heat and add 2 tablespoons olive oil and 2 tablespoons butter. Place the breaded chicken into the hot pan, 2 pieces at a time. Cook for 3 minutes, undisturbed. Flip and cook until the chicken has cooked through, reaching a temperature of 160 degrees F, about 3 more minutes. Remove the chicken from the pan and repeat the process with the remaining pieces of chicken.
- In the same saute pan over medium heat, add the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil, garlic, crushed red pepper and reserved seasoned flour. Cook until the garlic becomes aromatic, about 1 minute. Add the white wine and chicken stock and continue to cook for another minute. Add the bouillon powder, lemon zest and lemon juice and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the remaining 2 tablespoons butter to thicken the sauce. Taste for seasoning.
- Add the arugula to each dish or to 1 large platter. Place the chicken on top and drizzle with the sauce. Serve immediately.

Steps:
- Put the chicken breasts side by side on a cutting board and lay a piece of plastic wrap over them. Pound the chicken breasts with a flat meat mallet, until they are about 1/4-inch thick. Put some flour in a shallow platter and season with a fair amount of salt and pepper; mix with a fork to distribute evenly. In a wide bowl, beat the eggs with 3 tablespoons of water to make an egg wash. Heat the oil over medium-high flame in a large skillet.
- Dredge both sides of the chicken cutlets in the seasoned flour, and then dip them in the egg wash to coat completely, letting the excess drip off. When the oil is nice and hot, add the cutlets and fry for 2 minutes on each side until golden, turning once. Remove the chicken cutlets to a large platter in a single layer to keep warm.
- Toss the lemon slices into the pan and cook for 1 to 2 minutes, until fragrant. Add the wine, broth, and lemon juice, simmer for 5 minutes to reduce the sauce slightly. Roll the butter in some flour and add it to the skillet, this will thicken the sauce. Stir to incorporate and dissolve the flour. Reduce the heat to medium-low and return the chicken to the pan; place the lemon slices on top of the cutlets. Simmer gently for 2 minutes to heat the chicken through. Season with salt and pepper and garnish with chopped parsley before serving.

CHICKEN FRANCESE
I grew up on this tender, lemony chicken Francese recipe that's a classic in Italian cooking. It's delicious as is, but we sometimes add sauteed mushrooms. Serve it with pasta or crusty bread to mop up all that delicious pan sauce. -Joe Losardo, Taste of Home Executive Marketing Manager
