What is Chicken Francese?

Chicken Francese is a delicious chicken dish where the chicken is fried and then cooked in a delicious lemon sauce. It can often be confused with chicken piccata. The difference between Francese and Piccata is the order in which you dip your chicken! Piccata dips the chicken in eggs first and then the flour. A chicken Francese recipe dips the chicken in the four and then the egg. They are each cooked in a simmering oil, but you typically will add capers when you are done cooking the piccata. Once this chicken is done cooking, it has the most amazing texture! The inside is moist and tender, while the outside has more of a crisp bite to it. The combination is incredible and makes my mouth water just thinking about it! The lemony sauce brings a fresh, bright taste to the dish, making this recipe one that you cannot miss. Chicken is a dish that the entire family loves, and this chicken Francese is no exception! Plus, it’s ready in less than 30 minutes, and you can’t beat that!
