Chicken Francaise Recipe Giada De Laurentiis
Arnau Cyr
this sounds fantastic can't wait to try this recipe. Just out of curiosity I see that you plated it with rice. Is it plain white rice, or like a rice pilaf? Any other good side dish pairings for this chicken?
Recently I had lunch with friends at Lidia's in Pittsburgh. I never order the lemon chicken because I simply can't pass up the pasta trio, but luckily my friend ordered it and I got to sample it. I wanted to lick the plate it was so good! This recipe is so good and tastes just like Lidia's lemon chicken in her restaurant. The sliced lemons are amazing!!! I'm so glad to have this recipe!

Hi Mary!! That is music to our ears!! we are thrilled you are enjoying the chicken francese recipe and having such great success with it! As always, we so appreciate you letting us know and for the wonderful review!! Thank you to the moon and back!! All the best, Kris & Wesley
Lately I've noticed that my kids started to dislike chicken in almost any form except for the strips. I love chicken to be honest, more than beef. Chicken Francese is a chicken recipe they really liked. and kept coming for more.
This is a simple, easy, rustic and bright lemon chicken recipe that is for those of us who really like all things buttery and lemony. This chicken recipe is hands-down the best chicken francese recipe without wine.
I like this recipe for so many reasons, it is easy, frugal, and we all enjoyed and liked it.
But hay, there is another story behind this recipe. This is not a story about chicken recipe, this is a story about overcoming my fears. Yep, overcoming butchering fears. My fears of hammering chicken breasts!!!.
I have to admit that I hated hammering those chicken breasts and I was about to ask my butcher for chicken scallopini for this recipe. Instead, I took a deep breath and decided to do it myself. I have no issues in slicing, cutting or eating chicken but I do not know why pounding is another thing.
When I put chicken breasts between two plastic wraps and getting them ready to be flattened, I HAD TO cover them with anything else that is not transparent so I cannot see them!!. I wonder why is that? , may be something happened in the past. I gotta ask mom about that. But there is always a first time and here is my first.
So this is a story of overcoming kitchen fear and a new family favorite chicken recipe. With just a handful of ingredients, that you'll probably have around, in under an hour, you'll get a fancy looking and delicious chicken recipe. It is a win win that I'm thinking of making it in our next gathering and I am pretty sure everyone will love it.
Francese or French means that this dish has been cooked French way. Which means, it has been dredged in flour and dipped in eggs. Then these chicken is fried and dressed up in lemon sauce and in this case lemon and butter sauce. Usually there is wine in the recipe but ours here is wine free chicken francese.
It's funny, I'm not a huge fan of lemon flavor in sweet dishes, but absolutely love lemon in savory, where my wife is the opposite. This easy chicken piccata recipe is adapted from Giada De Laurentiis on the Food Network.
After seeing how easy this is to make and how amazing it tastes, I wouldn't be surprised if this chicken piccata recipe becomes a go-to for you as well. And if you prefer some seafood, you can never go wrong with this shrimp piccata.
I adapted this recipe from my girl Giada De Laurentiis because I figured the women had a pretty good chicken piccata recipe. Turns out she does, but of course I had to put a few of my own tweaks in there. Like adding some cute cherry tomatoes for a pop of sweetness!
Remove or reduce the lemon and this is a winner. Just too overwhelming on the lemon. I had a shrimp scampi cooking on the side with just butter and garlic and everyone poured it on the chicken to minimize the lemon. But I like the simplicity of this recipe and easy to make
I have made a lot of your recipes and loved them all, but I can tell from your finished product that there is no way near enough sauce and looks way too lemony. Dry pasta is a bane, this needed more sauce. Also chicken tenders looked over cooked. needs some tweaking.
Hi Natasha,
I made this dish tonite and it was absolutely phenomenal! The flavor of the garlic and the butter, lemon and wine is so fresh and delicious! As a diabetic, I substituted chickpea pasta and it was very creamy and rich! Question. Can shrimp be directly substituted for the chicken in this dish considering the chicken is dredged in flour? Would the shrimp also be dredged in flour? Thank you so much in advance for your response and thank you very much for your recipes!!
So, I googled chicken tender recipes and this was the first of many. And I am soooo glad I made it. I substitute rice vinegar for the wine though. And the family and I absolutely LOVED it. I here that you have a lot of good recipes so I look forward to trying them.
Thank you.
I love this simple recipe. I made it for dinner but with a twist, instead of dry white wine, chardonnay or sauvignon blanc I used some chicken stock and it was delicious. I will definitely make it again.
Hello! I have been obsessed with all your recipe videos for some time now! Can you please link the two pots/pans that you used in this video? The one you used to cook the pasta and the one you used to cook the chicken/sauce? I would love to purchase both. Thank you so much ?
This was phenomenal! I was initially intimidated but it was so easy!
I have celiac disease so I used gluten free flour. I only had 1 lb of chicken so I had extra sauce. Since I eat low carb I used the extra sauce to serve over broccoli. Thanks for another great recipe!
This was really good! Hubby loved it too. I will definitely make again. I made recipe as it was written, other than using chicken breasts I cut into large strips. I might try adding mushrooms next time just for something different. Thanks for the wonderful recipe as usual.
`Have always wanted to make veal and chicken francaise and found your recipe . Had veal ready to go today and I am so glad I tried your recipe!! It was absolutely delicious!!! Simple, easy and turned out amazing!! I love to cook and really surprised that I hadn't tried a franchise recipe before, guess just I thought it as more complicated. I have now bookmarked it so I'll always have it. Thanks so much for sharing.
When I was young, before I went vegan, and as I began attempting to cook more complex meals, one of the first recipes I tried, with the help of my mom of course, was chicken piccata. In middle school, I was captivated by the cooking shows on Food Network, and as soon as I saw Giada make this Italian dish on screen, I wanted to try it at home. It soon became one of my favorite comfort foods. As my diet changed, I realized this Valentine's day that I had not tried to recreate a vegan version of one of my once favorite Italian dishes. Because this holiday encourages indulgence, I wanted to make this vegan version as authentic and close to the original as possible- no veggies pretending to be "steaks" here!
We start off by making the perfect seitan "chicken" for this recipe. It is incredibly flavorful, moist, and tender on the inside, and coated with a crispy, light breading. Its texture is one that even non-veg friends and family will fall in love with! Seitan is packed with almost as much lean protein as the same serving of lean meat, almost completely fat-free, and of course completely cholesterol free! The pasta and seitan are complemented by a creamy yet light, lemony, garlicky caper sauce. The dish is topped with fresh chopped parsley.
Of course! This is my go to "chicken" style seitan recipe and it's so good! I did not include the optional coconut cream in the pictured photos, but I have made this recipes other times including the coconut cream and it adds a lovely creaminess. Both ways are delicious, it is up to your preference. I hope you love this one, let me know how it goes!
The photographs look as delicious as this dish tastes. It is one of the best Chicken Piccata recipes I have made. It is a breeze to make with little prep. It most definitely a great summer evening diner dish everyone will love even the little ones. I did omit the the dredging of the chicken. I also used coconut cream instead of heavy cream and 1/2 the amount of butter recipe called for. Everyone loved it!!!
LOVE all of your recipes!! And chicken picatta- Cant wait to try your version:) One question- in the past, when I add the heavy cream, it seems to almost curdle/separate in the sauce Is there something I am doing wrong to make it do this?? Thanks for your help!
Although these two ways of preparing chicken are very similar, there are some subtle differences. The differences contribute to the flavor of the chicken itself. Whether mild or tangy, chicken Francese and chicken Piccata are delicious, lemony, and flavorful dishes to enjoy any day of the week!

I'm always looking for ways to make dinner easier. Enter my homemade Italian seasoning, perfect for so many Italian recipes, like pollo alla pizzaiola, creamy chicken pesto pasta, stuffed portobello mushrooms, pasta sauce, pizza, baked chicken, or even sprinkled onto tomato bruschetta!
Chicken Scallopini, a 15-minute dinner idea, is a weekly menu staple in my home (and will soon be in yours, too!). The easy one-skillet recipe features pan-fried chicken in a punchy lemon-butter sauce.
