Time 20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 chicken cutlets (about 4 ounces each), pounded thin
1 3/4 teaspoons kosher salt, divided
1/4 cup brown rice flour
2 large eggs, beaten
3/4 cup gluten-free panko breadcrumbs
1/4 cup olive oil
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, optional
1 lemon, cut into wedges
Arugula salad, for serving, optional

Steps:

  • Preheat a large skillet over medium heat.
  • Season the pounded cutlets evenly on all sides with 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Place the flour, eggs and breadcrumbs in 3 separate, shallow bowls. Season the flour with 1/4 teaspoon salt, the eggs with 1/4 teaspoon salt and the breadcrumbs with 1/2 teaspoon salt. One at a time, dredge the seasoned chicken cutlets in the flour, then the egg mixture finishing with the breadcrumbs, pressing gently to make sure the breadcrumbs are evenly coating the chicken.
  • Add the oil to the hot pan and heat another 10 seconds. Add the breaded chicken to the pan and cook for 4 to 5 minutes or until the first side is deep golden brown and the chicken is beginning to look cooked around the edges. Work in batches if needed. Flip the cutlets and continue to cook on the second side until golden brown and crispy, about 3 minutes longer. Remove the chicken to a wire rack and season with the remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt and pepper if desired. Serve hot with 1 or 2 lemon wedges and a small arugula salad, if desired.

Four 6-ounce boneless, skinless chicken breasts
Kosher salt
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
2 cups panko
1 cup freshly grated Parmesan

CHICKEN MILANESE WITH TOMATO, MOZZARELLA AND BASIL SALAD



Chicken Milanese With Tomato, Mozzarella and Basil Salad image

A classic veal Milanese consists of pounded veal cutlets or chops that have been breaded in crumbs and sometimes Parmesan, then fried until the coating is burnished and brittle. Accompanied by a crisp, bright salad, it's a meal both cooling and rich. In this version, chicken breasts replace the veal, and a salad of tomatoes and mozzarella tossed with garlicky basil oil acts as the foil to the meat. If you want to work ahead, you can coat the cutlets in crumbs up to 4 hours ahead. Store them on a wire rack in the fridge. But try to serve them freshly fried when their coating is at its crunchiest.

Time 45m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 1/2 pounds chicken cutlets, pounded 1/4-inch thick
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, as needed
2/3 cup plus 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
2/3 cup basil leaves
1 fat garlic clove, finely grated or minced
1 pound cherry or grape tomatoes, halved
8 ounces fresh mozzarella, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
2 large eggs, beaten
1 1/4 cups panko bread crumbs
1/4 cup grated Parmesan
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
Lemon wedges, for serving

Steps:

  • Lightly season chicken cutlets all over with salt and pepper; let rest while you make the basil oil.
  • In a blender or food processor, combine 2/3 cup oil, basil, garlic and salt to taste; purée until smooth.
  • In a medium bowl, toss tomatoes and mozzarella with about half of the basil oil and salt to taste. Set aside.
  • Place flour in a shallow bowl or plate. Pour eggs into another shallow dish; combine panko and Parmesan in a third dish.
  • In a large skillet, melt butter and remaining 1/4 cup oil over medium heat. As it heats, dip a chicken cutlet in flour, shake off excess, then dip in eggs. Shake off excess, then dip both sides in panko mixture and transfer to a rimmed baking sheet. Repeat with remaining cutlets.
  • When oil is hot, fry 2 cutlets at a time until bottoms are golden, about 3 minutes. Flip and fry until golden and crispy all over, about another 3 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate. Sprinkle immediately with salt.
  • Taste tomato-mozzarella salad and add more salt and-or basil oil if needed. Serve cutlets topped with a squeeze of lemon, a drizzle of remaining basil oil and tomato-mozzarella salad.

CHICKEN MILANESE



Chicken Milanese image

Provided by Bobby Flay

Categories     main-dish

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (each about 6 ounces)
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
3 large eggs whisked with a few tablespoons of water until smooth
2 cups panko breadcrumbs
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Canola oil, for frying
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice, plus lemon wedges for garnish
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil, plus more as needed
1/2 red onion, thinly sliced
2 ounces baby arugula
1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese, optional

Steps:

  • Place 1 chicken breast between 2 sheets of wax paper. Pound with a meat mallet, rolling pin or heavy skillet until 1/4 inch thick. The thinner and more even, the better. Repeat with the remaining chicken.
  • Place the flour, eggs and breadcrumbs in separate shallow baking dishes and season each with salt and pepper.
  • Season the chicken on both sides with salt and pepper. Dredge each breast in the flour and tap off the excess. Next, dip into the egg wash and let any excess drip off. Finally, dredge in the breadcrumbs, pressing to help the crumbs adhere evenly on both sides. Transfer the breaded chicken to a wire rack set over a rimmed baking sheet. This step can be done up to 30 minutes in advance.
  • Heat 2 inches of the canola oil in a large high-sided saute pan over medium heat until the oil begins to shimmer. Cook 1 or 2 cutlets at a time in a single layer until golden brown on each side, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer the cutlets to another wire rack set over a rimmed baking sheet and immediately sprinkle with salt. Let the cutlets rest a few minutes while you make the salad.
  • Whisk together the lemon juice with some salt and pepper in a medium bowl. Slowly whisk in the 1/4 cup olive oil until the dressing is emulsified. Stir in the onion and let sit a few seconds. Taste and add more olive oil, if needed. Add the arugula and Parmesan and toss to coat; season with salt and pepper.
  • Place each cutlet on a plate and top with a large amount of salad. Serve lemon wedges on the side.

Tips:

  • Opt for boneless, skinless chicken breasts to make the prepping process easier and quicker.
  • Pound the chicken breasts into thin, even cutlets to ensure they cook evenly and quickly.
  • Season the chicken liberally with salt and pepper to enhance its flavor.
  • Use a mixture of flour, bread crumbs, and grated Parmesan cheese for the coating to achieve a crispy and golden-brown exterior.
  • To achieve the authentic Milanese flavor, clarify the butter before frying the chicken cutlets.
  • Cook the chicken cutlets over medium heat to prevent burning and ensure they cook evenly throughout.
  • Drain the chicken cutlets on paper towels to remove excess oil and achieve a crispy texture.
  • Make the salsa rosa ahead of time to allow the flavors to meld and enhance.
  • Serve the chicken Milanese with lemon wedges and a generous dollop of salsa rosa for a complete and flavorful meal.

Conclusion:

Chicken Milanese is an Italian classic that combines the simplicity of a fried chicken cutlet with the richness of a creamy and tangy sauce. This iconic dish offers a delightful interplay of textures and flavors, making it a favorite among food enthusiasts worldwide.
