Chicken Milanese
Servings: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts 1/2 cup all purpose flour 2 1/2 tsp kosher salt, divided 1 tsp black pepper, divided 2 Tbsp milk 3 eggs 1 Tbsp lemon juice Zest of 1 lemon 2 tsp dried oregano
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp garlic powder 1 1/4 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese Olive oil
To Serve:
- Lemon
- Grated Parmesan cheese
- Fresh Italian parsley
Instructions
- Place the flour in a bowl and season it with 1 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp black pepper and mix well.
- Place the milk, eggs and lemon juice in a bowl and whisk to combine.
- Place the breadcrumbs, dried herbs, lemon zest, 1 1/2 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp black pepper in a bowl and mix well.
- Use the flat end of a meat mallet or a heavy pan to pound the chicken thin. Repeat the process with the remaining pieces of chicken.
- Dip each piece of chicken in the flour, then the egg mixture, then the breadcrumbs, covering both sides of chicken in each dipping station. I find it easiest to use a fork to dip and flip, keeping your hands clean and allowing ingredients to adhere to chicken. Repeat with remaining chicken until all is well coated.
- Add oil to a skillet with high sides. Add enough so oil is roughly 3/4” deep. Heat skillet over medium heat. Allow oil to warm until just starting to bubble. Slowly add chicken to pan. Cook for 4 minutes per side, or until golden brown, crispy and cooked through. Note, if chicken doesn’t easily flip, it needs more time to cook.
- Plate chicken on large serving platter. Squeeze any remaining lemon juice over top. Garnish with extra grated Parmesan and fresh parsley.
- Serve with green salad or our cheesy lemon orzo .
