Grilled Chicken "Francese-Style"

Makes: 4 servings

Prep: 15 minutes

Grill: 10 minutes

Cook: 6 minutes

How It's Healthier: Chicken Francese is usually battered and then sauteed in butter, but ours is grilled and has a lighter version of the sauce on the side so you can control how much you're consuming. Adding a small portion of butter to the sauce at the end maximizes flavor. Ours has just one-quarter the amount found in traditional Francese recipes. Grilled polenta is a crunchy, satisfying side dish that is also a good source of fiber.
