What’s in this Chicken Milanese Recipe?
Flattened and breaded chicken are cooked to golden brown perfection and served on a bed of leafy green salad. It’s made with budget-friendly ingredients and always satisfies!
Chicken Breasts: Try to grab some free-range organic chicken breasts if possible. Salt and Pepper: These simple seasonings really help the breading hit the spot! Go light with the salt and try to use freshly cracked black pepper for the best flavor. Flour: All-purpose flour is needed to help form the breading. Eggs: These will act as a binder for the breading. Milk: I use whole milk and always have great results. Panko Breadcrumbs: You can use regular breadcrumbs instead if preferred, but your breading won’t be as crunchy as it would be with Panko. Parmesan Cheese: Freshly grated parmesan cheese is a must! It will create the best flavor and consistency. Olive Oil: You can use butter instead if preferred.
PRO TIP: Cut chicken breasts in half, then use the flat end of a meat mallet or a heavy pan, to pound your chicken into thin slices. This helps your chicken cook evenly and faster!
What salad is served with chicken milanese?
I like to keep things simple with a tossed arugula salad! The leafy greens are dressed their best with a little bit of olive oil, freshly squeezed lemon juice, parmesan cheese and some freshly minced garlic.
