Joseph's Steakhouse Chicken Francese Price

Joseph's Steakhouse’s popular Chicken Francese is an entree that customers call one of their favorite dishes. The chicken is served with mashed potatoes and asparagus, and patrons say it is flavored so perfectly that they look forward to it all day. The Joseph's Steakhouse Chicken Francese price is between $30.00 and $34.00.

The dish is prepared by taking a tender chicken breast, dredging it in flour, and then dipping it into a rich egg batter. The chicken is pan-fried to a golden-brown finish. A classic Francese sauce is then created in the pan with white wine, fresh lemon juice, and butter. The chicken is simmered in this zesty sauce before being plated. For a complete meal, guests can add other classic steakhouse sides like Creamed Spinach or Mac & Cheese, and finish with desserts such as the Cheesecake, Apple Strudel, or the signature Joseph's Special - Holy Cow Hot Fudge Sundae.

The Chicken Francese provides a light and elegant alternative to the robust, dry-aged steaks that are the steakhouse's specialty. This dish has similar qualities to the Chicken Piccata at Ralph n Rich's, another Bridgeport fine-dining establishment. Joseph's Francese focuses on a rich egg batter and a bright lemon-butter sauce, while the Piccata offers a different zesty profile with the addition of salty capers.

The story of the steakhouse begins with Joseph Kustra, who came to America from Croatia in 1968. After years of honing his craft at esteemed establishments like the Helmsley Palace and 15 years at the legendary Peter Luger's Steakhouse in Brooklyn, Joseph opened his own restaurant in Bridgeport, Connecticut, in 2000. In 2019, Joseph retired, selling the restaurant to Frederick "Fritz" Blasius, who has continued the fine food and traditions established by the founder.
