Chicken Milanese
Chicken Milanese is a class dish that we love for special occasions. To lighten up this classic, we used less cheese than what is traditionally found in the dish. Serve your chicken Milanese over a big bed of arugula.
Ingredients
Chicken
- 4 chicken breast cutlets
- Salt and pepper
- ⅓ cup all-purpose flour almond or cassava flour if gluten-free
- 2 large eggs lightly beaten
- 1 ¼ cup panko bread crumbs gf if need
- ¼ cup parmesan cheese
- 2 Tablespoons fresh parsley finely chopped
- Zest of 1 lemon

- Cooking spray
Salad
- 2 tablespoons of olive oil
- 2 tablespoons of lemon juice

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°F, Prepare a baking sheet with a rack sprayed with cooking spray.
- Place chicken cutlets on a baking sheet and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
- In a shallow dish (or pie plate) add flour. In a second dish add the beaten eggs. In a third dish combine breadcrumbs, parmesan, parsley, lemon zest, salt and pepper.
- Dredge chicken cutlets in flour, turning to coat both sides. Shake off excess. Dip chicken in eggs allowing excess to drip back into the dish. Finally, add chicken to the panko mixture and press firmly to adhere. Make sure both sides are coated. Continue with the remaining chicken cutlets.
