Good recipe, this was my first time making chicken francaise, I made a few changes. First, while beating the eggs I squeezed a half a lemon into it, for coating the chicken. Then I added a tablespoon of cornstarch/water to the sauce to thicken it up. I added the juice of one whole lemon to the sauce, while cooking, with salt and pepper to taste. Next time I am going to add a little bit of white wine for some depth of flavor. Overall pretty easy and tasty recipe.

Just recently made this dish following this recipe and it turned out really well. It's an easy recipe to follow and the taste was restaurant quality. I made just a couple of subtle additions/changes. I added lemon pepper seasoning and a little salt to the flour mixture, and instead of a half can of chicken broth for the sauce, I used a half cup of Pinot Grigio. I also used angel hair pasta rather than rice. Really tasty and I will definitely make this again!!
