This slow cooker chicken francese recipe is a delicious and easy way to enjoy this classic Italian dish. Slow cooking the chicken makes it tender and flavorful, while the lemony, buttery sauce adds a tangy and savory element. Serve it over pasta for a complete and satisfying meal that the whole family will love.

Ingredients

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • 1/4 cup lemon juice
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • Lemon slices for garnish

Directions

  1. In a shallow dish, combine the flour with salt and pepper. In another shallow dish, beat the eggs with the Parmesan cheese and parsley.
  2. Dredge the chicken breasts in the seasoned flour, shaking off any excess. Dip them into the egg mixture, making sure to coat evenly.
  3. In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Cook the chicken breasts until golden brown on both sides, about 3-4 minutes per side. Transfer the chicken to the slow cooker.
  4. In the same skillet, add the lemon juice and chicken broth. Bring to a simmer and cook for 1 minute, scraping any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Pour the sauce over the chicken in the slow cooker.
  5. Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for 4-6 hours or on high for 2-3 hours, until the chicken is cooked through and tender.
  6. Serve the chicken francese over pasta and garnish with lemon slices. Enjoy!
