- 4 pieces Chicken breasts

- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 1.5 cups Breadcrumbs
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tsp Garlic powder

- To taste Salt
- To taste Pepper
- For frying Olive oil
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.
- 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.
