Chicken Francese is an incredible, lemon flavored poultry dish, which can be found at many restaurants. Francese means “in the French manner”. Now you can prepare it with gluten free ingredients at home with the same lemony sauce. It is so simple, too!
To begin, whisk together egg, pamesan cheese, parsley, salt, and pepper until frothy and thick. And spread flour on a separate plate. Coat the chicken with the flour and shake off the excess.
Next, heat oil and butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat until hot but not smoking.
Dip the floured chicken into the egg batter and place in the hot pan. Cook in batches, being careful not to crowd the pan.
Cook until nicely browned on each side. Repeat, adding more oil and butter as needed, until all the chicken slices are cooked. Remove to a platter and keep warm.
Now you’re ready to prepare your delicious sauce.
Add some more butter to the same skillet and sauté some garlic.
Stir Orgran gravy mix in cold water; then add to skillet. Add lemon juice, as well. Continuously stir over medium-high heat to thicken gravy.
Finally, return chicken to the pan and cook for another minute to blend. Season with salt and pepper and garnish with parsley and lemon wedges. Serve immediately with your favorite gluten free pasta.
I hope you enjoy your homemade chicken francese.

I was told they have Crohn’s disease in 2002. I endured a intestinal resection which spurred a new lasting remission and as well as, gastronomically speaking, lucky enough to nibble on whatever I want free of much consequence. I did however, continue to have persistent widespread joint pain and five years later chose to try the “gluten free good life” within the persistence of a colleague. To my surprise, the joint pain utterly dissipated and I dropped some weight in a hurry let alone I was sleeping far better and generally happier. experiencing good, looking good, why would a gal ever revisit? At the beginning about 2009, I had the celiac biopsy and yes it came back negative and yet my doctor agreed it was likely I suffered in a gluten sensitivity in addition to being best if I just stay away from the stuff. If you suffer from a number of inexplicable maladies, it’s worth having a 30 day gluten hiatus to discover how you feel. if the results are good, discuss them with your doctor and consider a new lifestyle change. I promise you won’t regret it.
