While we are on vacation I hope you will enjoy some of our favorite dinners! This Chicken French recipe is really popular in our house.
Chicken French is an a dish that is very popular in Rochester, New York. The dish which is a version of Veal or Chicken Francaise actually has its own version called “Rochester Style.” In Rochester you can have veal, chicken shrimp or artichoke French at most Italian restaurants and even a few non-Italian ones.
We are celebrating Valentine’s Day with the kids and they like something different for the holidays. I decided to make this dish to remind them of home.
My version of Chicken French started from this recipe at Food.com.
Verdict:
This was perfect! Lemony, crunchy on the outside and super tender chicken on the inside. My version of Chicken French was not your typical Rochester, NY Chicken French. It was slightly tart but had a hint of lemon to it. This is definitely a recipe I will play around with some more but everyone loved it.

I’ve got Boeuf Bourguignon in the slow cooker. I’m sure that will be a future blog post! I think you’re already following my blog, so you should see that. I have weak spot for lemon chicken, so yours sounded really good!
