Best Recipe for Chicken Francese and Egg Tagliatelle
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves
- 2 anchovy fillets
- 2 cloves garlic
- Zest and juice of 2 lemons
- Salt
- 1 pound egg tagliatelle
- 4 skinless, boneless chicken breasts
- Freshly ground pepper
- All-purpose flour, for dredging
- 3 eggs
- 2 tablespoons EVOO
- 6 tablespoons butter
- 1/2 cup chicken stock
- 1/2 cup dry white wine
Instructions
- Warm a serving platter in a 250 degree F oven.
- Pile the parsley, anchovies and garlic on a cutting board and finely chop them together. Mix in the lemon zest.
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook until al dente.
- Meanwhile, cut into and across the chicken breasts and open them like a book. Pound into very thin cutlets, 1/8 to 1/4-inch thick. Sprinkle the chicken with salt and pepper on both sides, then dredge in flour to coat. Beat the eggs in a shallow dish with a splash of water.
- Heat 2 tablespoons EVOO and 2 tablespoons butter in a large skillet over medium to medium-high heat. Dip 2 pieces of the chicken in the egg to coat, then saute until cooked through, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer to the warm platter. Add 1 tablespoon butter to the skillet and cook the remaining pieces of chicken. Add to the platter.
- Add the chicken stock, wine and lemon juice to the skillet and simmer until slightly reduced. Add the remaining 3 tablespoons butter and stir until melted. Add the chicken to the sauce, turning it to coat, then return the chicken to the platter. Add half the parsley-anchovy gremolata to the sauce, then add the pasta and toss for 1 to 2 minutes.
- Garnish the chicken with the remaining gremolata and serve alongside the pasta.
