Description

 

Crispy, golden Chicken Milanese served with a refreshing arugula salad dressed in a zesty balsamic-lemon vinaigrette. A perfect balance of rich, crispy chicken and a light, tangy side salad!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 cup breadcrumbs
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 4 cups arugula
  • 1 lemon
  • Olive oil
  • Balsamic vinegar

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  • Place flour, beaten eggs, and breadcrumbs in separate shallow bowls.
  • Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper, then coat in flour, dip in eggs, and coat in breadcrumbs.
  • Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat and cook chicken until golden brown, about 4 minutes per side.
  • Transfer chicken to a baking sheet and bake in the oven for 10-15 minutes, until cooked through.
  • In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, balsamic vinegar, and lemon juice to make the salad dressing.
  • Toss arugula in the dressing and serve alongside the chicken milanese.

Notes

  • For an extra crispy coating, use panko breadcrumbs instead of regular breadcrumbs.
  • You can add shaved parmesan to the arugula salad for extra flavor.
  • Serve with a side of roasted potatoes or pasta for a heartier meal.
