Chicken French

Chicken Francese, Chicken Française, Chicken Francois or Chicken French is an Italian-American dish of flour-dredged, egg-dipped, sautéed chicken cutlets with a lemon-butter and sherry or white wine sauce. The dish is popular in the region surrounding Rochester, New York, where it is known as Chicken French, to the point that some have suggested the dish be called Chicken Rochester. Despite being such a well-known dish in Italian-American culture, francese is not a classical dish or sauce. There are no written recipes that mark the origin of this dish. Veal piccata seems to be the closest match among Italian dishes. John Mitzewich claims that the dish originated with first-generation Italian immigrants. Their recipe for veal francese was altered by substituting chicken for the more expensive veal.
