Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 Chicken breasts
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 2 Eggs
- 2 tablespoons Milk
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 2 cups Breadcrumbs
- 1 cup Vegetable oil
Instructions
Slice each chicken breast in half horizontally to create two thin cutlets. Cover with plastic wrap and gently pound with a meat tenderizer or rolling pin until evenly thin to about 1/4-inch thickness.
Season the chicken cutlets on both sides with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.
In a shallow dish, beat the eggs with the milk until well combined.
Set out a second shallow dish with the all-purpose flour and a third with the breadcrumbs.
Dredge each chicken cutlet in the flour, making sure it is completely coated. Shake off any excess flour.
Dip the floured chicken cutlet into the egg mixture, coating it thoroughly.
Transfer the chicken to the dish with breadcrumbs and press firmly to adhere the breadcrumbs to each side.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large frying pan over medium heat.
Once the oil is hot, add the breaded chicken cutlets and fry for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Remove the cooked milanesas from the pan and let them rest on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Serve immediately with your choice of sides such as salad, mashed potatoes, or rice.
