Crispy pan-fried chicken pairs perfectly with a peppery salad for a light yet satisfying lunch or dinner. Breading the chicken cutlets in flour and breadcrumbs results in a super crunchy coating and moist, tender meat. The warm chicken is placed on salad filled with flavors of the Mediterranean: a tasty mix of arugula, fresh cherry tomatoes, sliced cucumber, red onion and Kalamata olives. Large shavings of Parmesan cheese and a squeeze of lemon complete the dish. Serve on individual plates, or family-style on a large platter for a casual dinner party.

Directions

Mealthy Tip

To make the chicken healthier, bake it instead of frying. Coat with breading as directed in recipe and preheat oven to 375°(190°C). Place breaded chicken cutlets on a rimmed baking sheet and bake, turning once, until golden brown and cooked through, 20 to 25 minutes.

*The nutrition information includes the full amount for all of the oil. Only a percentage of the oil is actually consumed though, due to the frying process.

Tiana D. says:

This recipe is much easier to make than it looks! I served this dish over pasta I cooked separately, my family went crazy. Breading chicken like this is really simple and much healthier than frying, which I sometimes do for the crunch. This recipe does not disappoint, enjoy!

Sam Dalton says:

This chicken milanese recipe was everything I expected and more. I skipped the salad and served it over a pasta. Very delicious and flavorful. I especially liked the bread crumbs.

Jessica Scott says:
