Chelsea @ Our Little Nest {Guest Post}

Hi guys! I’m Chelsea from Our Little Nest, where I share my favorite recipes and meal plans, diy 

projects, style, and all the things I love! I love working with Stephanie any chance I can get, and 

today I have a Chicken Milanese recipe to share with you that I hope you’ll enjoy!

 

This Chicken Milanese is not only extremely quick and easy to make but it’s also equally 

delicious. I love making this for a quick weeknight meal. The cutlets even make a tasty sandwich 

the next day! 

These cutlets are traditionally made with veal or pork, but I like using chicken to lighten them 

up a bit. The breading is loaded with parmesan cheese and the cutlets cook up nice and golden 

brown. 

Ingredients: 

1/3 cup all-purpose flour, for dredging

2 large eggs, beaten

1 ¼ cups Italian bread crumbs

2/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese

4 chicken cutlets (boneless, skinless chicken breast, sliced crosswise and pounded thin)

1 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon pepper

2 tablespoons butter

1/3 cup vegetable oil

1 lemon, cut into wedges

Directions:

Place the flour in a shallow dish or bowl. Place the eggs in another. Mix the bread crumbs 

and Parmesan cheese in a third. Set them up in this order so that you have a little breading 

assembly line. 

Sprinkle each chicken cutlet with salt and pepper. Working with one cutlet at a time, dredge the 

chops in flour to lightly coat, then dip into the beaten eggs, allowing the excess egg to drip off. 

Then coat each cutlet with the bread crumb mixture, press gently to adhere the crumbs. Gently 

set the cutlets in a single layer on a baking sheet. 

Preheat the oven to 150 degrees. Meanwhile, in a large sauté pan, melt the butter and the oil 

over medium high heat. Place 2 chicken cutlets into the oil mixture and cook until light golden 

brown, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer the cutlets to a clean baking sheet. You can keep 

these warm in the oven while you cook the remaining cutlets. 

Serve each cutlet with a lemon wedge and a simple side salad (peppery arugula works perfectly 

with the Parmesan flavors in the dish). 

I hope you’ll give these cutlets a try and stop by my blog to say hello!
