This was excellent and very tasty! I did change a few things as others had suggested (added garlic poweder and finishing up the cooking right in the pan with the sauce). I served over whole grain rice that was flavored with a bit of stock. Even my boys loved it! Thank you!

This was very good! My husband isnt a fan of lemon so I only used one (wish I would have used the other, I love lemon).I thought it was a great light sauce, he said it was just ok, he likes bold flavors, but he said as long as I dont mind him adding stuff to it, he would eat it again. I surved it with linguini and garlic bread! I will be making again!

This was really delicious as well as very easy. I think next time I will cut the lemon juice a little (maybe use smaller lemons). I had to use dried parsley, but it worked out OK. Served over linguini with asparagus on the side, crusty bread and the rest of the bottle of pinot grigio.

This is good - not too heavy since there's no cream. I like the lemon butter sauce with the pasta. No need for so much butter though! Also don't forget the salt!

This was my first attempt at chicken francese. I made it for a big family dinner and everyone loved it! I added a little extra cornstarch as a few others had suggested to help thicken the sauce. And I combined the sauce over the chicken on the stove without ever using the oven. After I took the chicken francese off the stove, I let it sit for a bit so the sauce could thicken. I served it with egg noodles and it was delicious. And very easy! Thanks for sharing this recipe!

I wasn't able to get this recipe to work out. I admit I am not a great cook but I have been trying and finding lots of recipes on this great website to improve my cooking skills. The chicken was too thick, even after I pounded it. The sauce smelled good, however there was too much chicken broth, I think. My sauce also didn't thicken even with adding a little extra cornstarch. When I put it in the oven to finish cooking (the breasts were thick) I had to add a few minutes because they were still pink inside. By being in the oven, the sauce turned very thin/oily and lost its consistently. I would try this again with thin chicken breasts and just add the sauce to the pan for the final cooking. I thought the sauce smelled great when I first put it together so I'll make another attempt at this and hope the second time is a charm. Thanks for sharing your recipe.

This was delicious! Only thing I did a little differently, was I pounded the chicken until is was very large and thin. Make sure to dip chicken in flour first then egg! Pan fry in about a tbsp oil until lightly golden each side. I found the sauce a little runny, so I think next time I would use a little less chicken stock and a little more cornstarch. Make sure to mix cornstarch in a little bit of water before adding to liquid, otherwise it will clump. Everyone loved the flavour of this recipe. Thanks

I liked this recipe but I did a few things differently. I cooked it all on the stovetop and added garlic and thyme. I also adjusted used about 12 oz of chicken broth not 16. I added more cornstarch but it still wasn't as thick as I wanted. Anyway it did come out great after I changed it a bit to my taste. Definitley a keeper my husband loved it.

This recipe is fabulous. The sauce was delicious and everyone enjoyed it. I took the others advice and cooked it all on the stove top, but a lot of my sauce boiled away. Next time, I'm going to cook my chicken all the way through then add the sauce for only a minute or two.

Oh yeah! This was so yummy. I didn't even bother with baking it, just did everything in a pan. I skipped the egg wash because I like my batter very thin so I just dredged the chicken breast in seasoned flour and browned it in veg oil. Took that out and kept warm, added butter, chicken broth, white wine(use a nice dry Pinot Grigio)and lemon juice and reduced for about 10 minutes. Careful with the salt, it intensifies as the sauce reduces so season at the end. Right before putting the chicken back in the pan I added some cornstarch dissolved in water and fresh chopped parsely. The sauce became like a glaze that stuck to the chicken. Came out soft and juicy from pounding the chicken before dredging in flour. Served with buttered egg noodles with parm cheese and sauteed green beans. Next time I might add a clove of minced garlic just to give it a kick. This is delicious..you must try it!!

This was really nice, a hit at my house. I didn't use eggs when dredging the chicken in flour. The sauce does need more cornstarch (mixed it with wine then added it in). I used fresh lemon juice, which I think is essential; also added thyme; served it with quick brown rice and fresh green beans. This made enough sauce for two meals. The first one was with chicken, then I froze the rest and reheated it a few days later with fresh trout, white rice and baby peas. A good idea from another reviewer is to try it with mushrooms which I'll do next time. Thanks for the recipe--this is a keeper!

I added some thyme and extra wine to the sauce, used about a 1/3 cup bottled lemon juice, two boullion cubes with water instead of regular broth, flour instead of cornstarch and ignored the backward dredging 'cuz I thought it was a typo. It came out awesome and I don't think the baking after frying is really neccesary. Served it with asparagus and wild rice. YUM, keeper!

I just made this for dinner. I was looking for something easy and good and this was IT!. I had all the ingredients and put it all together fast. I did add some garlic powder like other reviewers did. I also added an extra tsp of cornstarch to make it a bit thicker. I made mashed potatoes as a side dish. The sauce over the potatoes was awesome. Thanks.
