Number Of Ingredients 8

3 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts
4 large eggs, beaten
1 day-old loaf of bread, crusts removed and processed into 1 1/2 cups of breadcrumbs
1 teaspoon coarse salt, plus more for serving
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, plus more for serving
4 tablespoons unsalted butter (1/2 stick)
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 lemons, cut into 6 wedges

Steps:

  • Separate the chicken into individual breasts. Butterfly the breasts by cutting into the center but not completely through, until, when opened, the breast lies flat. Place the butterflied chicken breasts in a large rectangular baking dish. Pour in the eggs and completely coat the chicken. Cover and let stand in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour but up to 12. Periodically rotate the chicken breasts in the egg mixture.
  • Put the breadcrumbs on a large plate and mix in the salt and pepper. One by one remove the chicken breasts from the eggs and lightly coat both sides in the breadcrumbs. Place the pieces on a rack while you continue with the remaining chicken breasts.
  • In a large skillet over medium-high heat, melt 2 tablespoons of the butter and 1 tablespoon of the olive oil until bubbling but not browning. You will have to cook the chicken in two batches. Lay half of the chicken breasts in the pan, without crowding, and cook until golden brown, 3 to 5 minutes. Turn the chicken over and cook 3 to 5 minutes more. Transfer the chicken to a baking sheet and keep warm in the oven while you cook the second batch in the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter and tablespoon of olive oil.
  • Serve the chicken with a wedge of lemon and a sprinkling of salt and pepper.

The chicken Milanese was good, but not great. I think I would have liked it better if the chicken had been pounded thinner before cooking.

This chicken Milanese was a bit too salty for my taste. I think I would have liked it better if I had used less salt in the breading.

The chicken Milanese was good, but not great. The chicken was a bit dry and the sauce was too thin. I think I would have liked it better if the chicken had been cooked for a shorter amount of time and the sauce had been thicker.

This chicken Milanese was a bit bland for my taste. The chicken was cooked well, but the sauce lacked flavor. I added some extra spices to the sauce and it helped a bit, but it still wasn't as flavorful as I would have liked.
