How to Make Chicken Milanese
- Place each chicken breast between two sheets of plastic wrap (wax paper works too). Using a meat mallet or rolling pin, gently pound the chicken to 1/4-inch thickness. Season both sides with salt and pepper.
- In a large shallow dish, combine the Parmesan cheese, panko breadcrumbs, and parsley. Season with salt and pepper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the egg and milk.
- Dip each chicken breast into the egg mixture, ensuring it's fully coated. Then, dredge in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere. Shake off any excess.
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. The oil is ready when a pinch of breadcrumbs sizzles immediately.
- Add the chicken breasts to the skillet and cook for 4-5 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature reaches 165°F).
- Transfer the cooked chicken to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
- In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Whisk in the lemon juice.
- Transfer the Chicken Milanese to a serving platter. Drizzle with the lemon-butter sauce and garnish with extra lemon wedges.
