Hey there, foodies! I’m super excited to share this incredible recipe that’s been driving my family absolutely crazy (in the best way possible). Trust me, once you try this crispy, juicy Parmesan-Crusted Chicken Milanese, you’ll wonder how you lived without it!
Y’all, this isn’t your regular old fried chicken – this is the kind of dish that makes your guests think you went to culinary school (our little secret, right? 😉).
What You’ll Need:
– 4 chicken breasts (butterflied and pounded thin)
– 2 cups seasoned breadcrumbs
– 1 cup freshly grated Parmesan (none of that pre-grated stuff, honey!)
– 3 large eggs
– 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
– Salt and pepper to taste
– Olive oil for frying
– 1 lemon
– Fresh arugula for serving
Okay, let’s get cooking! First things first – and don’t skip this step like I did the first time (total rookie mistake!) – set up your breading station. You’ll need three shallow dishes: one for flour, one for beaten eggs, and one for your breadcrumb-Parmesan mixture.

Now, season those chicken cutlets generously with salt and pepper. Trust your instincts here – nobody likes bland chicken! Dredge each piece in flour (shake off the excess), then egg, and finally, that heavenly breadcrumb-Parmesan mixture. Press it on good, ladies!
Heat your olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Here’s my pro tip: test if the oil is ready by dropping a few breadcrumbs in – if they sizzle immediately, you’re good to go!
Fry those babies for about 4-5 minutes per side until they’re golden brown and crispy. Don’t crowd the pan – we’re not running a chicken daycare here! 😂
Once they’re done, let them rest on paper towels to drain excess oil. Squeeze fresh lemon juice over the top and serve with a handful of fresh arugula. The combination of hot, crispy chicken with cold, peppery arugula is _chef’s kiss_ absolute perfection!
