Easy After-Work Chicken Fran?aise

Step 1
Whisk 2 cups flour, salt, and pepper together in a shallow bowl. Whisk eggs in another shallow bowl.

Step 2
Dredge chicken in flour; shake off excess. Dip into beaten egg. Lift up so excess egg drips back into the bowl.

Step 3
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Pan-fry chicken until golden brown, 2 1/2 to 3 1/2 minutes per side; transfer to a plate.

Step 4
Melt butter in the same skillet over medium-low heat. Whisk in 2 tablespoons flour and stir until the mixture becomes paste-like and light golden brown, about 5 minutes. Gradually whisk chicken broth and lemon juice into flour mixture, and bring to a simmer. Cook and stir until thick and smooth, about 10 minutes.

Step 5
Return chicken to the skillet. Continue simmering until chicken is no longer pink in the center, 10 to 15 minutes.

Step 6
Garnish with parsley and serve with lemon wedges.
