Chicken Francaise From Recipe30com

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.
