Skinny Chicken Francese

Chicken Francese

Ingredients:

• 4 chicken breasts or cutlets
• 1/4 cup flour (I used Whole Wheat Flour, but you can use White if you’d like)
• 1/2 cup egg whites, beaten
• 1 large lemon (If you are using lemon juice, it's about 3 tbs or more, to taste (I just kept adding little squirts until it tasted right)
• 1/2 lemon sliced thin (this is purely for garnish and added lemon flavor so it's not necessary)
• 1/3 cup white wine
• 15 oz low sodium chicken broth
• cooking spray
• salt and pepper, to taste
• 3 tbsp fresh chopped parsley
• 1 tbsp butter

Directions:

*Season both sides of the chicken with salt and pepper

*Place the flour in a bowl, and the beaten egg whites in another bowl. The trick to making this chicken so yummy is to do the double egg wash. Dip the chicken in the egg, then the flour, then the egg AGAIN, then the flour AGAIN. I know, it's a lot, but I promise it's worth it!

*Heat a non stick pan over medium heat and spray with cooking spray to lightly coat the bottom of the pan. ( You can use butter, but when I made this, I made it WW friendly)

*Saute chicken 2-3 minutes on each side. When cooked, transfer onto a plate and place in microwave to keep warm. Spray the pan again and repeat until all chicken has been cooked.

*Once all chicken is cooked, place the chicken broth in the bowl with 1 tablespoon of flour and whisk. It will start to thicken up like a sauce.

*Add chicken broth, juice of the lemon, white wine, lemon slices (if you have them), parsley and butter and simmer over medium heat for about 2 minutes or so, until the sauce reduces slightly and thickens.

*Add the chicken to the pan and combine it with the sauce! YUMMY!!!!
