Chicken Francese
Chicken Francese, Chicken Française, or Chicken French is an Italian-American dish of flour-dredged, egg-dipped, sautéed chicken cutlets with a lemon-butter and white wine sauce. The dish is popular in the region surrounding Rochester, New York, where it is known as Chicken French, to the point that some have suggested the dish be called Chicken Rochester. Origin Despite being such a well-known dish in Italian-American culture, francese is not a classical dish or sauce. There are no written recipes that mark the origin of this dish. Veal piccata seems to be the closest match among Italian dishes. John Mitzewich claims that the dish originated with first-generation Italian immigrants. Their recipe for veal francese () was altered by substituting chicken for the more expensive veal. ''Democrat and Chronicle'', a Rochester newspaper, instead claims that the dish is a recent invention. The paper claims that a ''vitello francese'' appeared in New York City after World War I ...

Italian-American Cuisine
Italian-American cuisine is a style of Italian cuisine adapted throughout the United States. Italian-American food has been shaped throughout history by various waves of immigrants and their descendants, called Italian Americans. As immigrants from the different regions of Italy settled throughout the various regions of the United States, many brought with them a distinct regional Italian culinary tradition. Many of these foods and recipes developed into new favorites for the townspeople and later for Americans nationwide. Traditional influences Italian-American food is based primarily on the culinary traditions of Southern Italian immigrants, although a significant number of Northern Italian immigrants also came to the United States and also influenced this style of cuisine to some extent. Most of these immigrants arrived in the United States during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, and during this time, many Italians coming from Naples and Sicily moved to large ...

Piccata
Piccata describes meat, usually veal or chicken, that is sliced, dredged in flour, browned, and then served in a sauce containing lemon juice, butter, and capers. Etymology Piccata is an Italian word, the feminine form of the word piccato, meaning “larded.” It is also commonly spelled picatta or pichotta outside of Italy. The culinary use of the Italian term means "to be pounded flat." When used in reference to a way of preparing food, particularly meat or fish, it means "sliced, sautéed, and served in a sauce containing lemon, butter, and spices." Traditionally, the Italians use veal (veal piccata); however, the best-known dish in the US uses chicken (chicken piccata). The recipe has a meatless adaptation using seitan (seitan piccata). Piccata is also prepared using veal (''piccata di vitello al limone'') or frittura piccata, particularly in the Milanese region swordfish (''pesce spada con capperi e limone''). Preparation A chicken breast is butterflied or sliced along ...

Culture Of Rochester, New York
Culture () is an umbrella term which encompasses the social behavior, institutions, and norms found in human societies, as well as the knowledge, beliefs, arts, laws, customs, capabilities, and habits of the individuals in these groups.Tylor, Edward. (1871). Primitive Culture. Vol 1. New York: J.P. Putnam's Son Culture is often originated from or attributed to a specific region or location. Humans acquire culture through the learning processes of enculturation and socialization, which is shown by the diversity of cultures across societies. A cultural norm codifies acceptable conduct in society; it serves as a guideline for behavior, dress, language, and demeanor in a situation, which serves as a template for expectations in a social group. Accepting only a monoculture in a social group can bear risks, just as a single species can wither in the face of environmental change, for lack of functional responses to the change. Thus in military culture, valor is counted a typical be ...
