2 cups all-purpose flour
salt and ground black pepper to taste
1 pound thin-sliced chicken breast cutlets
2 eggs, beaten
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1/2 cup butter
1/4 cup lemon juice
2 cups chicken broth
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
4 sprigs fresh parsley
1 lemon, cut into wedges
This was absolutely fabulous! My daughter said, "Mom you are an amazing cook, please make this next week" Everyone cleaned their plates! I actually only used one large chicken breast and made 4 cutlets, it was perfect for us. Will make again and again!
This was absolutely DELICIOUS! From start to finish this took less than an hour- perfect for after work. The key is fresh lemons and fresh parsley. CHANGES: We did melt the butter in the same skillet, but poured out the excess oil first. Also threw the parsley in within the last 5 minutes of the chicken simmering. Served with angel hair pasta and made more than enough sauce to coat the pasta. This recipe is a KEEPER.

My children really thought this came from a restaurant. I followed the recipe to the letter and this chicken came out perfectly!
Just made this for dinner. Picky 6 year old asked if I could make this for dinner every night! It was very good and easy, so of course I said YES! I used almost 2 lbs of chicken and found that 2 cups of flour is more than enough. Served it over mashed potatoes or spaghetti - same picky 6yo does not like spaghetti - gotta try to please everyone : )
Easy to make and flavor is good. Too much fat in the recipe though. I cut it back quite a bit for my 1.25 pounds of chicken.
Great taste, and easy to make. Made a few minor changes based on some of the reviews. I poured out about 1/3 - 1/2 of the oil before making the 'sauce/gravy', and added an extra 1/2 tablespoon of flour to it. Had a nice consistency. Two cups flour was more than enough, next time I'll cut that back to one cup. I may also cut the lemon juice back just a bit. Will be making this again!
Easy and delicious try it you will love it ,,,,,,,,,And reasonable cost
This is absolutely the best chicken Franaise recipe that I have found and I have been looking for some time. It doesn't look anything like the picture though. The picture shows almost a gravy like appearance. I have recommended this recipe to several people that are also going to try it. Thank you, GCBenezra for posting this. My family loves it!!!
