🍋 Chicken Francese
A golden, lemon-kissed classic that never fails to impress.
Every time I make Chicken Francese, it disappears from the table in minutes — and for good reason. Lightly breaded chicken cutlets, pan-fried to crisp perfection and bathed in a buttery lemon sauce, make this dish both comforting and elegant. Though it sounds fancy, it’s incredibly simple — and it carries with it the warmth of tradition, family, and Sunday dinners at Grandma’s.
With its roots in Italian-American cuisine, Chicken Francese is a dish born from adaptation — old-world flavors meeting new-world ingredients. The result? A timeless recipe that feels like a hug on a plate.
