I found this article by Googling for 'chicken french'. I'm a native of Rochester NY, but haven't lived there for about 20 years. Recently I've noticed 'chicken french' on numerous restaurant menus. I said to family members, "what is Chicken French? We don't have it in Massachusetts." They said, "really? I thought everybody had it. It's chicken with wine sauce." Finding variations with marsala and with parmesan suggests to me that the Italian link may be correct. I would go so far as to say your basic Rochester restaurant is basically Italian. Here are a couple of menus it occurs on:

chicken french, AND eggplant french. I thought eggplant was Italian. http://www.keenansrestaurant.com/dinner.html

Here are other places it's documented:

same article content attributed to a specific author: http://americanfood.about.com/od/chickenrecipes/r/Chicken-French.htm

same content again, diff. author: http://foodwishes.blogspot.com/2010/07/rochesters-famous-chicken-french.html

someone else asking what the deal is with chicken french, and some resto names: http://www.city-data.com/forum/rochester-area/627037-chicken-french.html

So, maybe it's of interest only if you live in Rochester or are travelling there. But it's a head scratcher, if you are a traveller.

Proposed move to "Chicken Francese"

This dish very much sounds like the well-known "Chicken Francese," which I enjoyed numerous times before relocating to greater Rochester NY many years ago. I submit the community will be better served by moving this article to reflect the name by which the dish is known throughout the US. This is expected to not only permit the article to be more easily found, but will facilitate regional variations and expand its scope. Comments? Lovibond (talk) 23:35, 19 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I strongly agree and second this move; way more well-known. Personally have never heard of "chicken French". Maybe why this article lacks "meat". @Lovibond -- Savvyjack23 (talk) 03:34, 22 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
