How to make Lemony Chicken Milanese


This dish can be made with veal, instead of chicken and makes a quick, filling meal. Great served with pasta. 

  1. Season chicken with salt and pepper and set aside. 
  2. Combine parmesan cheese, salt and pepper, parsley and breadcrumbs. 
  3. To keep it neat and clean, pour flour onto a plate and set aside. Do the same with eggs and then with breadcrumb mixture.
  4. Dredge chicken in flour and tap away excess. 
  5. Dip chicken into egg.
  6. Cover chicken with breadcrumbs and press them in. 
  7. Fry chicken on the first side for about 30 seconds, flip and fry for another 20 seconds. If you've pounded the chicken thin enough, cooking time is greatly reduced. 
  8. Once chicken is cooked, place on a paper towel-lined plate in order to absorb excess oil. 
  9. Best served room temperature with a squeeze of lemon and additional lemon slices.

    Made this for the family dinner this evening - really simple and delicious. My four-year old loved bashing the chicken flat and there were whimpers of "is it ready yet?" as it smelled so good while cooking!

    I cooked this recently. It's a really simple recipe that everyone likes. I followed your recipe which was really nice but i also some times add oregano with the breadcrumbs, or cumin. Both work very well. Thanks.
