When I’m looking for a dinner that is a step up from chicken nuggets but still appeals to eaters of all ages, chicken Milanese is just the ticket.
Milanese (or milanesa) refers to breading and frying thin cutlets of meat, and you’ve probably heard of similar dishes like veal Milanese, or Wiener schnitzel from Austria. Chicken Milanese may sound fancy, but it’s really just thin chicken breast cutlets prepared in the same way so that it’s crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside.
