Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    Pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness. Season with salt and pepper.

  2. 2

    Bread the Chicken

    Set up a breading station with three bowls: one for flour, one for beaten eggs, and one for a mixture of breadcrumbs and grated Parmesan cheese. Dredge each chicken breast in flour, dip in the egg, then coat with the breadcrumb mixture.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Fry the Chicken

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the breaded chicken and cook until golden brown on both sides, about 4-5 minutes per side. Remove and set aside.

  2. 4

    Prepare the Sauce

    In the same skillet, add butter and garlic, cooking until fragrant. For Chicken Francese, add lemon juice and capers; for Chicken Piccata, omit the marinara sauce and continue with the butter and lemon sauce. For Chicken Parmigiana, add marinara sauce and simmer.

  3. 5

    Combine and Serve

    Return the chicken to the skillet and spoon the sauce over it. For Chicken Parmigiana, sprinkle with extra Parmesan cheese and allow to melt before serving. Garnish with parsley and lemon slices.
