This is one of my all-time favorite recipes for Chicken Milanese that I have made for years. I can’t believe it’s taken me almost 5 years to share this recipe on MT. I love to make it when we are entertaining because it’s seriously tastes like it came from my favorite Italian restaurant but it’s made right in my own kitchen. If you are looking to impress family and friends with a delicious dinner that everyone will love then you have to make this, trust me!

Not only is this dish delish but it’s super easy to make with ingredients you probably already have on hand. My secret for making the ultimate Chicken Milanese is using thinly sliced chicken breast or cutlets which you can usually find at the grocery store. If you just have regular chicken breast, then cut them in half and use a mallet to flatten them. The flatter the better. My other secret is the Lemon Butter Sauce that is drizzled on top. It’s the best! I just don’t do a little drizzle either. To really infuse this delicious Lemon Butter Sauce that is made with butter, fresh lemon juice and wine I like to quickly dip the chicken in the sauce or drizzle them several times to really get that flavor in there. You can even serve extra sauce on the side for more deliciousness.

One of the key ingredients to Chicken Milanese is bread crumbs. Progresso™ Bread Crumbs help make meal preparation easier and taste great in whatever dish you are making. It’s a staple in my pantry and I use it in a variety of recipes including meatballs, meatloaf and of course Chicken Parm. I also love to add a bread crumb topping to my favorite casseroles like macaroni and cheese. With a few simple ingredients including Progresso™ Bread Crumbs that you can easily find at Walmart you can have this delicious Chicken Milanese or any of your favorite recipes ready in no time!
