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.
HEALTHY CHICKEN FRANCAISE
A classic Italian dish with a healthier twist. By replacing the butter with the Earth Balance you are saving yourself quite a few calories. I have made this for people who are not dieting (nor are they trying) and they raved about for weeks. This has become the number one crowd pleaser for me so I'm hoping you, your friends and family will enjoy it as well.

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.

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:
- 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.

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.
