Chicken Milanese Tenders. What is Chicken Milanese? If you’ve never heard of Chicken Milanese before, this is what it is. It is a chicken cutlet that you pound thin, bread in Panko bread crumbs, and then fry in olive oil. The result is a super crispy, juicy, and flavorful piece of chicken. Moreover, while similar to a regular breaded chicken cutlet, the defining characteristic of a Milanesa is its preparation style and seasoning. The preparation often includes a coating of breadcrumbs and seasoning with herbs and spices. Preparing something Milanese (or Milanesa) style means dredging thin slices of meat in flour, eggs, and seasoned breadcrumbs and frying them.

A traditional Milanese dish is a bone-in veal chop to pound until very thin. After that, you bread and pan fry the veal. What’s the Difference Between Chicken Milanese and Chicken Parmesan? Chicken parmesan are fried cutlets with red sauce and cheese. Milanese cutlets you serve with a simple squeeze of lemon and a little basil oil, if you like. Moreover, the term Milanese, from Milan, originally applied to veal. This term has fallen out of popularity and few markets in this country carry now. These days, the dish typically features boneless skinless chicken breasts, pounded to an even thickness.
