This Chicken Milanese is chicken cutlets coated with breadcrumbs, then pan fried until crispy and golden brown. An easy dinner option that can be paired with a variety of sauces and side dishes to make a complete meal.
Cut each chicken breast in half lengthwise. Place each piece of chicken in between two sheets of plastic wrap. 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.
Place the flour in a bowl and season it generously with salt and pepper to taste.
Place the milk and eggs in a bowl and whisk to combine.
Place the Italian breadcrumbs and panko breadcrumbs in a bowl and stir to combine.
Dip each piece of chicken in the flour, then the egg mixture, then the breadcrumbs.
Heat the oil in a large pan over medium high heat. Add the chicken cutlets in a single layer.
Cook for 4 minutes per side, or until golden brown, crispy and cooked through. Sprinkle with parsley.
For the salad
Place all the salad ingredients in a bowl and toss well to combine.
Arrange the salad either on top of, or next to, the chicken cutlets. Serve immediately.
