Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 whole chicken breast halves
- 1 cup gluten-free breadcrumbs
- 0.5 cup gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs
- 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon dried oregano
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 0.25 cup olive oil
- 1 whole fresh lemon, sliced into wedges
Instructions
Place the chicken breasts between two sheets of plastic wrap or parchment paper. Using a meat mallet or rolling pin, pound each chicken breast to an even thickness of about 1/2 inch.
Season both sides of the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper.
Set up a breading station: In one shallow dish, place the gluten-free all-purpose flour. In a second shallow dish, beat the eggs. In a third shallow dish, combine the gluten-free breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, dried oregano, and chopped parsley.
Dredge each chicken breast first in the flour, shaking off any excess, then dip into the beaten eggs, and finally coat with the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add the chicken breasts. Cook for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through with an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Transfer the cooked chicken to a paper towel-lined plate to remove any excess oil.
Serve the Chicken Milanese immediately with fresh lemon wedges on the side for squeezing over the top.
