    What is chicken francese?

    Chicken francese is a parmesan coated chicken breast recipe that has an herb chicken broth sauce on top.

    Main ingredients to use for this chicken meal:

    • chicken breast-I buy locally. I don't thaw mine until I am ready to use it. I just pop it in the microwave for 4 minutes each side. Cooking frozen chicken does not have to be hard! You can also opt for putting a bag of chicken in the fridge to thaw over night. However, I find that there is more risk of leaks this way.
    • oil-this prevents the chicken from sticking. Add more as the chicken cooks if needed to prevent sticking.
    • flour-this will soak up moisture from the chicken so the egg/parm mixture will stick better
    • Parmesan cheese-the first time I made this I used the shredded parmesan, however, the others times I have made this, I used the grated parmesan. Of the two, I prefer the shredded, however, grated is also a good second!
    • chicken stock-I make mine out of chicken bullion cubes
    • lemon juice-any lemon juice would work here, you can even squeeze your own!

    How to make this chicken francese recipe:

    • Coat and fry the chicken. This is important because it gives the chicken a nice crisp flavor.
    • Make the gravy. The gravy is what adds juice to the chicken.
    • Pour gravy over chicken.

    What to serve with Chicken Francese?

    How to Store Chicken Francaise?

    This chicken breast recipe can be stored in the fridge for up to one week. Reheat by warming up the chicken breasts by themselves in the microwave until mostly warm. Then, gently pour gravy on top. Warm up until both gravy and chicken are heated throughout, about 2 additional minutes.If making this into a freezer meal, I recommend just frying the chicken, and freezing it. When ready to eat, thaw out and heat up the chicken, make the gravy, and pour the gravy on top.
