About Chicken francese

Chicken Francese, a dish with Italian-American roots, is a flavorful entrée featuring boneless chicken breasts lightly coated in flour and egg, then pan-fried to a golden perfection. The chicken is simmered in a tangy sauce made of fresh lemon juice, white wine, garlic, and butter, creating a vibrant and rich flavor profile. Often served over pasta or paired with vegetables, this dish balances protein from the chicken with indulgent ingredients like butter and white wine. On the healthier side, it provides lean protein and vitamin C from the lemon, but the butter and frying process add saturated fats and calories. While Chicken Francese is a delectable treat, mindful portion sizes can help enjoy its flavors without overindulging.
