Step-by-Step Instructions
- Begin by cutting each boneless skinless chicken breast in half lengthwise, and then pound the pieces to an even thickness of about 1/2 inch using a meat mallet.
- Set up a dredging station with two shallow bowls: one with all-purpose flour and another with beaten eggs. Coat each piece of chicken in flour, shaking off the excess, then dip it into the egg wash.
- In a large skillet, melt 4 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add the dredged chicken cutlets and cook for approximately 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown.
- Remove the chicken from the skillet. Deglaze the pan with 1/2 cup of dry white wine, scraping up any browned bits. Allow the wine to reduce for about 2 minutes before adding 1 cup of chicken broth and the juice and slices of two fresh lemons.
- Bring the sauce to a gentle simmer for about 3-4 minutes, then return the chicken to the skillet and let it cook for an additional 2-3 minutes.
- Remove from heat and transfer the Chicken Francese to serving plates, spooning the sauce over the top. Finish with chopped parsley.

Notes
Ensure chicken cutlets are pounded to an even thickness for even cooking. Double-dredge for a crispy coating and use fresh lemons for best flavor.
