Hey there, foodies! Iโm super excited to share this incredible recipe thatโs been driving my family absolutely crazy (in the best way possible). Trust me, once you try this crispy, juicy Parmesan-Crusted Chicken Milanese, youโll wonder how you lived without it!
Yโall, this isnโt your regular old fried chicken โ this is the kind of dish that makes your guests think you went to culinary school (our little secret, right? ๐).
What Youโll Need:
โ 4 chicken breasts (butterflied and pounded thin)
โ 2 cups seasoned breadcrumbs
โ 1 cup freshly grated Parmesan (none of that pre-grated stuff, honey!)
โ 3 large eggs
โ 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
โ Salt and pepper to taste
โ Olive oil for frying
โ 1 lemon
โ Fresh arugula for serving
Okay, letโs get cooking! First things first โ and donโt skip this step like I did the first time (total rookie mistake!) โ set up your breading station. Youโll 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 โ 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. Hereโs my pro tip: test if the oil is ready by dropping a few breadcrumbs in โ if they sizzle immediately, youโre good to go!
Fry those babies for about 4-5 minutes per side until theyโre golden brown and crispy. Donโt crowd the pan โ weโre not running a chicken daycare here! ๐
Once theyโre 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 _chefโs kiss_ absolute perfection!
