**Chicken Milanese: A Crispy and Savory Italian Delight**
Chicken Milanese is a classic Italian dish that combines the flavors of crispy fried chicken with a tangy lemon-herb sauce. This delectable dish is made by coating chicken breasts in a mixture of flour, eggs, and bread crumbs, then pan-frying them until golden brown. The chicken is then served with a zesty lemon-herb sauce made with fresh lemon juice, parsley, and capers. This recipe provides step-by-step instructions for making this mouthwatering dish, along with variations such as using chicken thighs instead of breasts, baking the chicken instead of frying it, and using different herbs and spices in the sauce. Additionally, the article includes a recipe for a simple and refreshing arugula salad to serve alongside the Chicken Milanese.

Steps:
- Make the sauce first. Preheat a medium sauce pan over medium heat and melt the butter; add the garlic and saute for a minute or so.
- Add the broth and sun-dried tomatoes and let them simmer for 10-15 minutes. You want the tomatoes to be rehydrated and tender.
- Add the cream to the sauce and let come to a simmer.
- Add sauce to a blender and blend until smooth. An immersion blender works as well. Put the sauce back in the pot and heat on low to keep warm.
- Make the chicken next. Preheat a saute pan or saucepan to medium-high heat.
- Season the chicken with a herb blend. I used one tablespoon of the Demarle rosemary, basil and thyme blend as well as salt and pepper.
- Place about a tablespoon of oil in the pan over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts.
- You'll start by cooking the chicken breasts for five minutes on either side. It may require longer if the breasts are thicker. Don't move the chicken too much so that you can get the browning; turn when it's ready to flip.
- While your chicken is cooking, cook your pasta according to package directions.
- When the chicken is done, place the pasta on a plate and top with sauce and chicken. Enjoy!

CHICKEN MILANESE
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.

CHICKEN MILANO
This is revised from a recipe I cut out of a magazine ages ago. It's one of our favorites and this recipe makes enough for two nights plus a lunch or two. As with many of "my" recipes the ingredient amounts can be changed. Don't like mushrooms? Leave them out. Really like mushrooms? Go crazy and double the amount. Want more chicken? Add another chicken chest. Etc. Also, the tomato soup part of the recipe can be changed any number of ways - I've made it with diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, tomato paste and water, condensed tomato soup and water, etc. Sometimes we like to eat this as a soup rather than over rice/noodles and thats when we use tomato juice for the liquid - and we add more than a quart (To make it "soupier".)

I came up with this by playing with my method for chicken parmigiana. The idea came from a restaurant veal dish that had green peppers. I've taken it a few steps further. This is also a delicious recipe for veal.
