Elevate your weeknights with Lemon Chicken Francaise: seasoned chicken pan-seared in butter, topped with tangy lemon sauce. Perfect over linguine for a simple yet impressive meal.
Ingredients:
  • 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 1/2 cups Gold Medal™ all-purpose flour
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 to 3 eggs
  • 4 tablespoons Butter with Olive Oil & Sea Salt
  • 2 tablespoons Gold Medal™ all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup Progresso™ chicken broth (from 32-oz carton)
  • Juice of 1 lemon
  • Hot cooked linguine or pasta of your choice
Instructions:
  • Place each chicken breast between sheets of plastic wrap or waxed paper and gently pound with a meat mallet or rolling pin until 1/4 inch thick.
  • Place 1 1/2 cups of flour in a medium bowl and season with salt and pepper. In a separate bowl, whisk or beat eggs. Coat chicken with seasoned flour, dip in eggs, then coat again in flour.
  • Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook the chicken in the melted butter for about 8 minutes, turning once, until it is no longer pink in the center. Remove the chicken from the skillet and cover to keep warm.
  • Add the remaining butter to the hot skillet and whisk in the flour until smooth. In a small bowl, combine the broth and lemon juice. Slowly pour the broth mixture into the butter mixture, whisking constantly. Return the chicken to the skillet, coat it with the sauce, and cook for about 2 minutes until the sauce thickens and the chicken is heated through.
  • Spoon the chicken and its flavorful sauce onto a bed of delicious linguine.
