Ah, the unassuming envelope of onion soup mix. It's more than just for onion soup (or dip). It adds tremendous flavor (and convenience) in all these recipes.

Chicken cutlets coated in egg and breadcrumbs get pan-fried, then baked in a citrusy butter sauce made with lemon, garlic and parsley. Herby, buttery bites of crispy chicken will turn you into a Francesca fan.

1 pound chicken cutlets, sliced thin
seasoned bread crumbs for coating cutlets
1 egg
oil, for frying
SAUCE
1/4 pound butter
1 clove garlic, pressed

I searched 6 different recipes for Chicken Francesca. I chose this one because it seemed the easiest one to make with the least amount of ingredients and prep. SO GLAD I CHOSE. It was phenomenal and will be my staple for Chicken Francesca. Try it, you will love it.
