About


Don’t be deceived by the title. This chicken dish is so easy to make, 20 minutes tops. I swear. I am not sure why it was called Chicken Francaise when there’s no French-sounding ingredient used. It could easily be called lemon chicken cos the main ingredient is lemon, but for whatever it’s worth, I am just borrowing the recipe, so why care about the name?
