Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Simple Chicken Francese.

1. Step 1

   Start by gathering all your ingredients and setting up a clean, organized workspace to make the cooking process smooth and enjoyable.

2. Step 2

   Begin by dredging each chicken breast in flour, making sure to shake off any excess.

3. Step 3

   Next, dip the floured chicken into the beaten eggs, allowing any extra to drip back into the bowl.

4. Step 4

   For a perfect coating, press the chicken back into the flour, ensuring both sides are thoroughly covered.

5. Step 5

   Repeat this delightful process for all your chicken pieces, and get ready for some deliciousness.

6. Step 6

   In a nonstick skillet, warm up some olive oil over medium heat.

7. Step 7

   Once the oil is shimmering, gently add the coated chicken breasts.

8. Step 8

   Sauté them for about four minutes on each side, or until they’re nearly cooked through and golden brown.

9. Step 9

   When they’re ready, transfer the chicken to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil, keeping them crispy and light.

10. Step 10

    While the chicken is resting, preheat your oven to a cozy 300°F (150°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish to prevent sticking.

11. Step 11

    In a medium saucepan, combine chicken broth, white wine, butter, lemon juice, chopped parsley, salt, and pepper.

12. Step 12

    Heat this mixture over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally until the butter melts and the flavors meld beautifully.

13. Step 13

    In a small bowl, whisk together water and cornstarch until smooth.

14. Step 14

    Add this mixture to your simmering broth and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, stirring until the sauce thickens slightly, creating a luscious coating for your chicken.

15. Step 15

    Now, it’s time to bring it all together! Place the sautéed chicken in your prepared baking dish and pour the fragrant sauce over the top, ensuring each piece is generously covered.

16. Step 16

    Slide the dish into your preheated oven and bake for 10-15 minutes, or until the chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear.

17. Step 17

    For peace of mind, an instant-read thermometer should show at least 165°F (74°C).
