Equipment

  • A large frying pan
  • Meat tenderizer
  • Three shallow bowls
  • A baking sheet
  • Paper towels
  • Tongs

Ingredients
  

  • 4 pieces Chicken breasts
  • 2 large Eggs
  • 1 cup All-purpose flour
  • 1.5 cups Breadcrumbs
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tsp Garlic powder
  • 1 tsp Onion powder
  • To taste Salt
  • To taste Pepper
  • For frying Olive oil

Instructions
 

Step 1 – Prepare the Chicken

  • Flatten the chicken breasts to an even thickness using a meat tenderizer. This ensures they cook evenly and stay juicy.
  • Season both sides with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Note: Even thickness is key to perfect cooking!

Step 2 – Set Up Your Dredging Station

  • In the first bowl, place the all-purpose flour mixed with the garlic and onion powders.
  • Beat the eggs in the second bowl.
  • Combine breadcrumbs and grated Parmesan in the third bowl. This blend adds a fantastic crunch and flavor to your milanesa.

Step 3 – Dredging and Frying

  • Dredge each chicken piece first in flour, then egg, and finally in the breadcrumb mixture. Make sure each piece is well-coated at every stage.
  • Heat olive oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Fry the chicken until golden brown on both sides, about 4-5 minutes per side.
  • Warning: Keep your eye on the heat; too hot and the breadcrumbs will burn before the chicken is done.

Notes

  • Make sure your oil is hot enough before starting to fry – it should sizzle when you add the chicken.
  • Don’t overcrowd the pan; cook in batches if necessary to keep the oil temperature steady.
