Imagine a meal that is as delightful to the eyes as it is to the palate, with a golden-crusted exterior giving way to the tenderest of chicken breasts inside. This, my friends, is Chicken Milanese – a classic Italian dish that’s all about taking something simple and elevating it to the heights of comfort food heaven. It’s the perfect meal for when you want to shake up your dinner routine with a touch of European flair, or when you’ve got company coming and you want to serve something that looks like it took all day, but was really a breeze!
Now Chicken Milanese, with its crispy exterior and juicy interior, goes beautifully with a light, zesty salad. Think arugula tossed with cherry tomatoes, a bit of shaved Parmesan, and a bright lemon vinaigrette. A side of angel hair pasta lightly dressed with olive oil and fresh herbs or roasted vegetables would round out this meal beautifully. And for those little ones or anyone who likes their greens on the down-low, you can always sneak some veggies into pasta or go with a classic mashed potato.
