Cooking Time: 50 minutes

Ingredients

• 0.5 Cups (c) all-purpose flour
• 4 Large eggs, whisked
• 1 Pound (lb) skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
• 2 Tablespoons (tbsp) olive oil
• 2 Cups (c) chicken broth
• 0.5 Cups (c) white wine
• 0.25 Cups (c) butter
• 2 Medium lemons, juiced
• 1 Teaspoon (tsp) fresh parsley, minced
• 1 Pinch salt, to taste
• 1 Pinch pepper, to taste
• 2 Teaspoons (tsp) water
• 1 Teaspoon (tsp) cornstarch

Steps

1. Gather all ingredients and prepare your workspace.
2. Dredge the chicken in flour, shaking off excess. Dip into whisked eggs, allowing excess to drip off, then press into flour again to coat both sides. Repeat with remaining chicken.
3. Heat olive oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add chicken and sauté until golden brown and almost cooked through, about 4 minutes per side. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
4. Preheat the oven to 300°F (150°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
5. In a medium saucepan, combine chicken broth, white wine, butter, lemon juice, parsley, salt, and pepper. Heat over medium-low, stirring occasionally, until butter melts.
6. Mix water and cornstarch in a small bowl until smooth. Add to the broth mixture and cook until the sauce thickens slightly, about 2 to 3 minutes.
7. Place the sautéed chicken in the prepared baking dish and pour the sauce over the top.
8. Bake in the preheated oven until the chicken is no longer pink in the center and juices run clear, about 10 to 15 minutes. An instant-read thermometer should read at least 165°F (74°C) when inserted into the center.
9. Serve hot, garnished with additional fresh parsley if desired. Enjoy your Zesty Lemon Chicken Francese with Velvety White Wine Sauce!
