  1. I loved this recipe! I wanted more lemon so I increased mine to 1/2 cup of lemon juice and also increased the wine to 3/4 cup. I love my chicken french in a thicker sauce so I also added a little flour & water to the sauce. I have given this recipe out to many friends and family :-)
     
  2. For the watery sauce, I added a couple of tablespoons of hungry jack mashed potatoes to thicken it up. I've used corn starch as well.
     
  3. The sauce needs help. I added two tablespoons of butter, a tablespoon of brown sugar and squeezed another lemon into it.
     
  4. Added sherry instead of white wine. Made it a killer! If sauce is too lemony add sugar If sauce is too sweet add lemon
     
  5. Just made this today it was really good I wouldn't change a thing Family loved it.

Tweaks

  1. I think I would have liked this a lot more if I served it over pasta instead of rice. However, it too reminded me of chicken picatta, but with an egg coating. Not that there is anything wrong with that! I too added capers and I think fresh parsley would have been nice as well.
     
  2. I made this for dinner and substituted turkey breasts for the chicken. It was delicious. I live in Texas, and I have never seen this dish on the menu at any restaurant.
