Milanese chicken is such a tasty dish, and it is also incredibly easy to prepare. It combines the crispy texture provided by the breadcrumbs and the softness of the chicken meat, making it an ideal choice for a quick lunch or dinner. Serve it with pasta, rice, mashed potatoes, roasted potatoes or sweet potatoes, and a good green salad. If you have any leftovers, this chicken Milanese recipe tastes great in a sandwich or wrap.
My trick? Flatten the chicken breasts with a meat tenderizer or mallet, until they are really thin.
Once you have the chicken breast ready (clean, dry and seasoned with a little salt and pepper) cover it well with flour, then dip it in a little beaten egg and then cover it in bread crumbs.
