CHICKEN FRANCESE

Steps:

• Heat a large saute pan over medium-high heat until warmed. Add the oil. During heating, dip the chicken breasts into the eggs, and then dust each breast with seasoned flour on both sides. Once floured, add to the oiled pan, reduce the heat to medium and cook until light brown in color, 3 to 4 minutes. Flip and repeat cooking for a final 3 to 4 minutes. Once cooked, remove the breasts from the pan and allow to finish with carry-over cooking.
• Return the same pan to the heat and add the stock. Allow to simmer and reduce by three-quarters of the volume. After reducing, whisk in the butter to create a sauce, removing from the heat during the process. Finally, finish with lemon juice and parsley and serve over the chicken.

VEAL FRANCAISE

Steps:

• Place veal between 2 sheets of wax paper; flatten to 1/4 inch thickness, using a meat mallet or rolling pin. (My veal cutlets are already thin enough). Sprinkle with salt and pepper, and dredge in flour.
• Dip veal in the beaten egg (1 if large, 2 if small eggs). Dredge again in the flour.
• Brown the veal in 1/2 cup butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat (medium for me since my stove cooks hot!), 2 to 3 minutes on each side. Remove veal, reserving the drippings in the skillet. Set aside and keep warm.
• Add the whipping cream and the next 4 ingredients to the skillet. Stir well. Bring just to a boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally. Return the veal to the skillet; reduce heat, and simmer, uncovered, for 5 minutes. Place veal on a serving platter. Cover with the sauce, and sprinkle with the chopped parsley. Garnish with lemon slices, if desired.

CHICKEN FRANCESE

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.
