This low calorie Chicken Francese Recipe is just 187 calories and have over 20g of protein per serving!I was able to cut out 4 tablespoons of butter without changing the flavor or consistency... And I did this with the help of 1 tablespoon of butter. You only need a little to get a lot of flavor, and with that you can cut out lots of calories. Special Tip: You can easily use gluten free flour (I like Bob's Red Mill 1:1) to make this a gluten-free recipe.
Heat a large pan over medium-high heat, spray with olive oil.
In a shallow bowl or pie pan, combine the flour, salt and pepper, mix together.
In a separate shallow bowl or pie pan add the eggs and milk, whisk until smooth.
Dredge each chicken cutlet in the flour mixture, then dip in the egg mixture.
Place the chicken breasts in a single layer in the hot pan.
Cook for 4-5 minutes per side, or until browned and cooked through.
Move the chicken to a plate, and lightly cover with foil to keep warm.
Add the butter and lemon slices to the pan, and cook for 2-3 minutes or until the lemon slices are browned. Remove the lemon slices from the pan, and reserve for serving.
To the melted butter, add the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes, constantly stirring.
Then pour in the white wine, mix well and simmer for 2 minutes.
Add the chicken broth and garlic, and simmer for an additional 5 minutes or until sauce starts to thicken.
Add the lemon juice and pepper. Taste and add salt as needed.
Return the cooked chicken fillets to the pan. Spoon some of the sauce over the tops of the chicken.
Top the chicken with cooked lemon slices. Sprinkle with parsley, then serve hot.
