FRENCH CHICKEN TARRAGON
Tarragon doesn't get enough love. Most people know it only in its dried form, and administered with a heavy hand. But a few sprigs of fresh tarragon can be lovely. It's a traditional component of the mixture called fines herbes, contributing sweetness and an almost anise-like flavor. It happily finds its way into salads, vinaigrettes, and homemade mayonnaise, and it is often the herb of choice for chicken or fish. Tarragon is especially well suited for these braised chicken thighs, complementing the white wine and crème fraîche.

Steps:
- Season the chicken generously with salt and pepper. Let stand for 30 minutes to 1 hour at room temperature.
- Heat the oven to 400°F. Put an enameled cast-iron Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the butter and shallots and cook, stirring, until softened and lightly browned, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and chopped tarragon and cook for 1 minute (be careful not to let the garlic brown). Arrange the chicken thighs in the pot in one layer, add the broth and wine, and bring to a simmer.
- Put the lid on and place the pot on the middle shelf of the oven. Bake for 15 minutes, then lower the heat to 350°F and continue baking for 45 minutes, or until the thighs are tender. Put the thighs on a platter, cover loosely, and keep warm.
- Strain the pan juices through a fine sieve into a saucepan and spoon off any rising fat. Place the pan over medium-high heat, add the crème fraîche and lemon zest, and simmer until the sauce is slightly thickened, about 5 minutes. Taste and adjust the seasoning.
- Spoon the sauce over the chicken, garnish with tarragon leaves, and serve.

Steps:
- In a large skillet over medium high heat, warm the olive oil. Season the chicken, brown it in the oil for 2 or 3 minutes on each side, and remove to a plate.
- Return pan to stove and reduce heat to medium. Add butter to the pan and saute the shallots, carrots, and mushrooms. Saute for 3 to 5 minutes until mushrooms darken and carrot bits are fork tender. Add tarragon and parsley and stir. Add wine and reduce liquid for 1 or 2 minutes. Add tomatoes to the sauce and stir to combine. Add chicken back to the pan and simmer chicken in sauce for 6 minutes or until chicken is cooked through and juices run clear.
- Serve chicken with Herb and Butter Noodles and Sugar Snap Peas.
- Toss the cooked egg noodles with butter bits and herbs in a bowl until butter melts, about 1 minute. Season noodles with salt and pepper.
- Place snap peas in 1/2-inch boiling water with butter and a sprinkle of 1 teaspoon sugar. Reduce heat to simmer. Cover and steam snap peas 3 minutes. Remove cover and season snap peas with a little salt. Serve cooked snap peas with slotted spoon to allow for draining.
CHEF JOHN'S CHICKEN FRENCH
Chicken French has everything I love in a recipe. It's delicious and easy, frugal, yet fancy, and everyone loves it. Better yet, it has a vague, confusing history and completely preposterous name. This not-French recipe hails from the Rochester area of New York State, where it's a staple on virtually every Italian-American restaurant menu.

Steps:
- Mix together the flour, salt, and pepper in a shallow bowl. In another bowl, whisk beaten eggs, sugar, and Parmesan cheese until the mixture is thoroughly blended and the sugar has dissolved.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat until the oil shimmers. Dip the chicken breasts into the flour mixture, then into the egg mixture, and gently lay them into the skillet. Pan-fry the chicken breasts until golden brown and no longer pink in the middle, about 6 minutes on each side. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet over medium-low heat, melt the butter, and stir in garlic, sherry, lemon juice, and chicken base. Bring the sauce to a simmer, and stir until smooth and slightly thickened, about 5 minutes. Be sure to dissolve any brown flavor bits from the bottom of the skillet as you stir. Return the chicken breasts to the sauce, and gently simmer until no longer pink in the center, about 15 minutes.
- To serve, place a chicken breast on a plate, and top with sauce.

CHICKEN FRANCESE
Chicken francese, sometimes called chicken French, is one of those rare restaurant dishes that's truly easy to cook at home. If you can make chicken cutlets, you can make this lemony, buttery recipe; the only difference is an easy pan sauce that brightens the whole plate. This version includes lemon slices browned in butter, which are pretty and tasty but entirely optional. Although the name suggests that it's a French or Italian dish ("Francese" means French in Italian), it's actually neither: Like spaghetti and meatballs, it's a mostly Italian-American invention. Serve with something starchy to soak up every drop of the sauce; pasta is traditional.

Steps:
- In a wide, shallow bowl, whisk eggs, milk, salt and pepper until blended. Place the flour in a separate bowl. Line a baking sheet with paper towels.
- In a wide skillet, heat olive and vegetable oils over medium heat until shimmering.
- Working in batches to avoid crowding the pan, lightly dredge the chicken in flour and shake off any excess. Dip into egg batter, let excess batter drip back into the bowl and place in the skillet. Fry, turning once, until golden brown on both sides, about 4 minutes per side. Adjust the heat as the cutlets cook so they brown slowly and evenly, with a steady bubbling. Transfer to the paper-towel-lined pan and repeat with remaining cutlets.
- When all cutlets are browned, remove the pan from the heat and pour off the oil. Wipe out the pan with paper towels. Return the pan to low heat.
- If making the lemon slices (if not, skip to Step 6 below): Melt 3 tablespoons of the butter and then scatter the lemon slices over the bottom of the pan. Cook, stirring gently occasionally, until the lemon slices are golden and browning around the edges, about 3 minutes. Scoop out the lemon slices and set them aside.
- Add 3 tablespoons of butter, the wine and lemon juice and bring to a boil. Boil until the liquid is syrupy, 3 to 4 minutes. Pour in the stock, bring to a boil and cook until thickened into a sauce, about 5 minutes. (It will thicken more when you add the cutlets.) Taste and adjust the seasonings with lemon, salt and pepper; it should be quite lemony and not too salty.
- Reduce the heat, tuck the cutlets into the pan and simmer very gently until the sauce is velvety and the chicken pieces are heated through, about 4 minutes. Turn the cutlets over occasionally in the sauce. Place the browned lemon slices on top. Sprinkle with chopped parsley and serve, spooning some of the sauce over each serving.

- Heat up your oven to 375 F. In order to make Chicken Chasseur with a crispy skin, heat up clarified butter (or a combination of butter with cooking oil) in a cast iron skillet on medium heat. Season the chicken with salt and pepper and once your pan is hot, add chicken (skin side down) and cook undisturbed for 6-7 minutes, until the skin is nicely browned.
- Turned the chicken over and cook for another 4-5 minutes. Transfer the chicken onto a baking sheet and place in the oven for about 15-20 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through and the internal temperature shows 165F.
- Once you've moved your chicken to the oven, discard all but 2 tablespoons of fat from the skillet. Add sliced mushrooms, season with salt and pepper, and cook for about 5 minutes. Then add chopped shallots and let them sweat for another few minutes.
- If using, add cognac and either flambe it or let it almost entirely cook-off. Add wine and deglaze the pan. Cook until about 1 tablespoon of liquid is left.

12 FRENCH CHICKEN RECIPES TO MAKE RIGHT NOW | KITCHN
From thekitchn.com
- French Chicken Casserole a la Normande from Vikalinka. Bacon, apples, sautéed shallots, and a little fresh thyme bring the classic flavors of Normandy into this French chicken casserole.
- Braised French Onion Chicken with Gruyère. French onion soup is one of the most iconic dishes around, and somehow, improbably, this version — adding chicken thighs and mustard — manages to leave the best parts intact while creating a wholly different dish.
- Slow Cooker Creamy French Mustard Chicken. “More mustard” is all but a motto when it comes to cooking chicken in the French style, and this slow-cooker dish takes that to heart, adding both grainy and smooth Dijon mustards to the classic base of white wine, shallots, and cream.
- Chicken Cordon Bleu from A Family Feast. If comfort food were designed in a lab to be the most comforting, it would come out like chicken cordon bleu: breading on the outside, creamy sauce over top, and cheesy ham inside.
- Crispy Skillet Chicken in White Wine Sauce from A Saucy Kitchen. Wine is chicken’s culinary best friend. The French are well aware (you’ll see it multiple times on this page), and incorporate it nicely into recipes like this one.
- Creamy Champagne Chicken from Cafe Delites. Silky sauces and perfectly cooked chicken complement each other’s textures in a way that makes for a stellar dish.
- Roasted Chicken Thighs with Garlic from Cooking Classy. Roasted chicken is good, but roasting the thighs alone gives you all the best parts without having to share or settle for breast meat.
- Lemon Garlic Chicken Thighs from Damn Delicious. While the previous recipe highlights how well the skin of a chicken thigh crisps up, this one takes the same garlicky goodness, adds some lemon, and shows how great the thigh — minus the skin and bone — can hold moisture through a high-heat trip to the grill.
- Slow Cooker Coq au Vin from Diethood. Another classic from the annals of French chicken dishes, but this time turned into an easy slow cooker, set-it-and-forget-it recipe.
- Dorie Greenspan’s Herb Butter Chicken. Of course, nothing is better than a simple roast chicken, and everybody has their own favorite. So why not look to one of our kitchen queens for her standard version?
