Chicken Milanese with Lemon-Parmesan Cream Sauce is a delectable dish that combines the crunchiness of breaded chicken with the tangy, creamy flavors of a lemon-parmesan sauce. Perfect for a family dinner or a special occasion, this recipe is both comforting and luxurious.

Ingredients:

1 cup mayonnaise salad dressing
240g
1 cup sour cream
230g
4 tsp lemon zest
8g
5 tsp lemon juice
24g
4 eggs
200g
4 cups bread crumbs
430g
1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
50g
1 tsp dried oregano
3g
2 tsp salt
12g
1 tsp black pepper
2.10g
1 cup whole-grain wheat flour
120g
4 chicken breasts
470g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Lemon-Parmesan Cream Sauce:
- In a medium bowl, combine the mayonnaise, sour cream, lemon zest, lemon juice, and grated parmesan cheese.
- Mix well until all ingredients are fully incorporated.
- Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
2. Prepare the Breading Station:
- In a shallow dish, beat the eggs until smooth.
- In another shallow dish, combine the bread crumbs, dried oregano, 1 tsp of salt, and black pepper.
- Place the flour in a third shallow dish and mix with the remaining 1 tsp of salt.
3. Bread the Chicken:
- Dredge each chicken breast in the flour, ensuring it is evenly coated. Shake off any excess.
- Dip the floured chicken breast into the beaten eggs, allowing any excess to drip off.
- Press the egg-coated chicken into the seasoned bread crumbs, ensuring it is fully coated. Repeat the process for all chicken breasts.
4. Cook the Chicken:
- Heat a generous amount of oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. The oil should be hot but not smoking.
- Add the breaded chicken breasts to the skillet, cooking for approximately 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. You may need to cook the chicken in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan.
- Once cooked, transfer the chicken to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
5. Serve:
- Arrange the Chicken Milanese on a serving platter.
- Drizzle the lemon-parmesan cream sauce over the top or serve it on the side as a dipping sauce.
- Garnish with additional lemon zest and fresh parmesan if desired.

Tips:

- Ensure your chicken breasts are evenly pounded to a uniform thickness to promote even cooking.

- When zesting the lemon, be sure to avoid the white pith as it can be bitter.

- For an extra crispy coating, allow the breaded chicken to rest on a wire rack for a few minutes before frying.

- Use freshly grated Parmesan cheese for the best flavor and texture.

- Keep an eye on the chicken while frying to prevent burning. Adjust the heat as necessary to maintain a steady, even cooking temperature.

Chicken Milanese with Lemon-Parmesan Cream Sauce is a satisfying and flavorful recipe that offers a perfect blend of textures and tastes. With a little preparation and a few expert tips, you can create a restaurant-quality dish right in your own kitchen. Enjoy this delicious meal with family and friends, and bask in the compliments!
