Easy Chicken Milanese Recipe

This classic Italian Chicken Milanese is perfect for entertaining guests or as a simple weeknight meal. Chicken cutlets coated in panko and pan-fried until golden brown, it is so easy to make this restaurant-quality meal at home. Served with a fresh arugula salad tossed together in seconds, this will be your new favorite chicken dinner. I love finishing mine with a squeeze of lemon juice but it's delicious with all types of sauces.

Lovely traditional recipe. My Nonna seasoned the bread crumbs with Parmesan, lemon zest and parsley. She also make lemon scented bruschetta and topped it with the bread crumb mixture that she set aside before dredging the chicken in the crumbs. Italians must have crusty Italian bread, crisp salad and wine with this lovely meal. Great job. Nonna would like!

I love making this for an easy meal. Quick suggestion: After dredging the chicken in the flour, I let it stand for ten minutes until the flour starts to change color before dipping in the eggs. This helps the breading to stick.

I made this for dinner tonight, followed you every step and it came out PERFECT! It was so delicious! I was so proud of myself! My husband went back for 2nds and 3rds lol. Thank you John!! ❤

Here in Argentina we make these all the time, some versions I love are "milanesas napolitanas" and "al caballo, " they're even more delicous, and you eat them with fries or mash potatoes (generally) :)

Great ideas. I make a similar recipe with the chicken, but instead of bread crumbs I use cornmeal, then I add the grated parmesan, black pepper, and a pinch of cayenne to the cornmeal. You can barbecue the chicken to save on calories. My topping is arugula, tomatoes, capers, lemon juice and a smidge of olive oil. So yummy. I am not an arugula fan, but I love this. I just to pound my chicken with a rubber mallet before they made these fancy hammers. My friend who is a doctor said to never cook in olive oil. Smoke point is around 320 degrees F. I now use avocado oil.

This is one of my favorite weeknight meals! We make a mass batch of cutlets to freeze so we can make this even faster on those hectic weeknights

I always enjoy the meals and desserts you make. in this particular case, I can’t help think we’re missing a lot of seasoning. Being Latina, I was always taught to season the bread crumbs for some extra flavor.

Hi, John, from Argentina! Here they are so common that you could buy these ready to fry in every butcher's! I think the average family has chicken Milanese 3/4 times a week, lol. At home I make mine in the oven, and my husband's pan fried. But if you have them at a restaurant, they will be deep fried and that's the most delicious way! Many children's favorite meal is chicken Milanese with buttered noodles, 😂😂😂 you should let George and Lachlan have that on a movie night 💖

Just bought a whole pork loin and looking for recipes. Will definitely try w/pork! Looks delicious!

[lisagrolon]

Your chicken looks crispy and I’m going to try both, I love the salad nice and lite. Thanks for sharing

[musicroom]

I love when you show meals like this to offset all the great dessert recipes you do! Thanks!

Fantastic, I love this dish and the arugula salad you pair it with is devine. John, you must be my twin because we have identical taste in food. Love all your content and I'm so glad I found you! I use your blog all the time and you are my go to! Thank you for all you do!!!! ❤️

Wow John, I've just heard of chicken milanese recently, and it looks delicious. This recipe looks great to try. Hopefully I can try it out soon! 😋 😋

[pinkshamrock]

We had this tonight for dinner. What a coincidence! But we had ours with Parmesan red potatoes and corn. Our family's favorite meal. We learned to cut the chicken in half and pound it thin from you from another recipe. What a game changer! Thank you so much!

[jesusislord]

I’m in love!!! You explain it soooo good!! Your amazing !!
