CREAMY CHICKEN FRANCESE

Steps:

• Stir beaten eggs and Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese together in a shallow bowl. Stir flour, salt, and pepper together in a separate bowl. Dredge cutlets in the seasoned flour.
• Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook linguine at a boil until tender yet firm to the bite, about 11 minutes.
• Meanwhile, heat butter and oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat. Swirl the skillet once the butter has melted to combine butter and oil. Add lemon slices and cook, topped with a splatter screen, for 2 minutes per side.
• Dip floured chicken cutlets into the egg mixture and cook in the same skillet, about 4 minutes per side. Be careful not to disturb the cutlets as they brown. Remove browned cutlets to a rack and keep warm. Add garlic and cook about 30 seconds. Pour in chicken broth, wine, and lemon juice. Bring to a boil and cook until liquid has reduced to about 1/3 cup, stirring occasionally, about 5 minutes.
• Remove skillet from heat and cool sauce slightly, about 2 minutes. Gradually add half-and-half, stirring constantly. Season with salt and pepper. Drain linguine, reserving some of the cooking water.
• Place skillet back on low heat. If the sauce is too thick, add cooking liquid from the pasta, 1 tablespoon at a time, until thinned to your desired consistency. If the sauce is too thin, create a paste from the leftover flour and about 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Quickly stir or whisk the paste into the sauce and allow to cook to desired consistency.
• Return chicken pieces and lemon slices to the sauce to warm through, about 2 minutes.
• Serve each cutlet with two lemon slices and sauce over hot, cooked linguine. Garnish with fresh parsley.

CHICKEN FRANCESE

Steps:

• In a wide, shallow bowl, whisk eggs, milk, salt and pepper until blended. Place the flour in a separate bowl. Line a baking sheet with paper towels.
• In a wide skillet, heat olive and vegetable oils over medium heat until shimmering.
• Working in batches to avoid crowding the pan, lightly dredge the chicken in flour and shake off any excess. Dip into egg batter, let excess batter drip back into the bowl and place in the skillet. Fry, turning once, until golden brown on both sides, about 4 minutes per side. Adjust the heat as the cutlets cook so they brown slowly and evenly, with a steady bubbling. Transfer to the paper-towel-lined pan and repeat with remaining cutlets.
• When all cutlets are browned, remove the pan from the heat and pour off the oil. Wipe out the pan with paper towels. Return the pan to low heat.
• If making the lemon slices (if not, skip to Step 6 below): Melt 3 tablespoons of the butter and then scatter the lemon slices over the bottom of the pan. Cook, stirring gently occasionally, until the lemon slices are golden and browning around the edges, about 3 minutes. Scoop out the lemon slices and set them aside.
• Add 3 tablespoons of butter, the wine and lemon juice and bring to a boil. Boil until the liquid is syrupy, 3 to 4 minutes. Pour in the stock, bring to a boil and cook until thickened into a sauce, about 5 minutes. (It will thicken more when you add the cutlets.) Taste and adjust the seasonings with lemon, salt and pepper; it should be quite lemony and not too salty.
• Reduce the heat, tuck the cutlets into the pan and simmer very gently until the sauce is velvety and the chicken pieces are heated through, about 4 minutes. Turn the cutlets over occasionally in the sauce. Place the browned lemon slices on top. Sprinkle with chopped parsley and serve, spooning some of the sauce over each serving.
