Chicken Francese

Friday, May 15, 2020
Chicken Francese was said to be invented by Italian-American cooks who got tired of the traditional way of frying and breading chicken cutlets.


There are two spellings you will find for recipes on the net for this famous dish.


Mom made a flounder growing up, Flounder Francese was made with a little heavy cream mixed in wit the eggs and added capers, so you can see there are many versions of the recipe.


The difference between the two types of Chicken dishes is that one spelled Francaise is said to be a French derivative of the same recipe with a coating of flour and egg dipping method.


Both are correct spellings for this dish and very much the same recipe with chicken breasts sauteed in butter and olive oil and then dredged into the most delectable sauce.


They are also both accompanied by white wine, chicken broth, and butter-flavored sauce and are made very easily in no time.


My step-by-step version of (no matter what way it's spelled) is a family favorite I make often, and this favorite dish is found in most Italian- American restaurants!


We love all kinds of chicken dishes, one others we make often are Mom's Baked Lemon Cutlets, Parmesan Crusted Chicken, and a Baked Italian Chicken with Vegetables.


Our family likes this chicken served with sauteed spinach and garlic and twice-baked potatoes or on a bed of any kind of pasta.
