Classic Chicken Milanese

Classic Chicken Milanese is a delicious Italian dish that is loved by many. This dish is made with breaded chicken cutlets that are fried until crispy and golden brown. The dish is served with a fresh arugula salad and a lemon wedge for a burst of citrus flavor.

To make Classic Chicken Milanese, you will need the following ingredients per serving:

- 1 boneless, skinless chicken breast
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 egg, beaten
- 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 cup arugula
- 1/2 lemon


To start, pound the chicken breast until it is an even thickness. Season with salt and pepper. Set up three shallow dishes: one with flour, one with beaten egg, and one with breadcrumbs mixed with Parmesan cheese. Dredge the chicken in the flour, shaking off any excess. Dip the chicken in the egg, then coat in the breadcrumb mixture.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
To serve, place the chicken on a bed of arugula and squeeze the lemon wedge over the top. The dish is best served immediately while the chicken is still crispy.
Classic Chicken Milanese is a perfect combination of crispy and juicy chicken with a fresh and tangy salad. This dish is perfect for a quick and easy weeknight dinner or a special occasion.
