Chicken Milanese is a classic Italian dish featuring breaded and fried chicken cutlets. It's a simple yet flavorful recipe that's perfect for a quick dinner.
Ingredients
- 4 chicken breasts boneless and skinless, pounded thin
- 1 cup breadcrumbs preferably Italian-style
- 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese grated
- 2 eggs beaten
- 1/2 cup flour
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- to taste salt
- to taste black pepper
Instructions
- Season the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper on both sides.
- Set up a breading station with three shallow dishes: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with a mixture of breadcrumbs and Parmesan cheese.
- Dredge each chicken piece in flour, shaking off excess, then dip in beaten eggs, and finally coat with the breadcrumb mixture, pressing down to adhere.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Fry the chicken in batches until golden brown and cooked through, about 3-4 minutes per side. Add more oil as needed.
- Transfer cooked chicken to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
- Serve Chicken Milanese hot with a side salad or lemon wedges, if desired.
