Chicken Francese

Anthony’s Eatalian in Dallas offers a classic Chicken Francese, a popular Italian-American dish known for its bright, citrusy flavors and delicate texture. It is a favorite among patrons looking for a lighter, more refined alternative to heavier, red-sauce-based chicken entrees.

Dining & Menu Highlights

The dish is prepared using traditional techniques that focus on a smooth, velvety sauce and tender protein.

1. Preparation: Tender chicken breasts are lightly dredged in flour and dipped in an egg wash before being sautéed to a golden finish. This creates a signature soft, slightly buttery crust.
2. The Sauce: The chicken is simmered in a delicate Lemon-Butter White Wine Sauce. The sauce is known for its balance of savory butter and refreshing citrus notes.
3. Accompaniments: The entree is served over a bed of al dente spaghetti (though some diners request it over mashed potatoes) and is accompanied by the restaurant's signature house-made focaccia bread.
4. Flavor Profile: Reviewers often describe the dish as "light yet flavorful," noting that the sauce is perfectly emulsified and not overly acidic.
