Milanesas De Pollo Argentinian Chicken Cutlets Recipes

MILANESAS DE POLLO (ARGENTINIAN CHICKEN CUTLETS)

Steps:

• Slice each chicken breast in half horizontally and pound the thicker ends to 1/4 inch thick. Cut the bigger pieces in half; you want to end up with sandwich-size pieces.
• Beat the eggs in a medium bowl. Stir in the parsley, garlic, salt, and pepper. Sprinkle one side of the chicken pieces with salt and slip them into the beaten eggs. Mix with your hands to coat. The chicken can be cooked right away, or let marinate in the refrigerator up to overnight.
• Sprinkle some panko on a small rimmed baking sheet. Put a piece of chicken on top,and cover with more panko. Then, with your fist, pound the panko into the chicken to adhere. Pound slowly at first, and then a little harder, until the crumbs stick.
• Pour 1/4 inch of oil (about 1 cup) into a 10-inch nonstick skillet and heat over medium to medium-high heat. It's ready when a sprinkle of panko sizzles. Fry 1 to 2 cutlets at a time, without crowding, flipping only once, until nicely browned, about 3 minutes on the first side and 1 minute on the second. Transfer to a tray lined with paper towels.

CHICKEN MILANESE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 200 degrees F (95 degrees C).
• Beat eggs with salt and pepper in a shallow dish. Spread flour in another dish and bread crumbs in a third dish.
• Working with one piece at a time, gently press chicken into the flour to coat and shake off the excess flour. Dip into the beaten egg, then press into bread crumbs. Gently toss between your hands so any bread crumbs that haven't stuck can fall away. Place the breaded chicken onto a plate while breading the rest; do not stack.
• Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Pan-fry chicken in batches of 2 or 3 pieces until golden brown and no longer pink in the center, about 2 to 4 minutes per side. Transfer cooked chicken to a baking sheet and keep warm in preheated oven while cooking remaining chicken.
• Serve with lemon wedges.
