About Chicken milanesa

Chicken Milanesa is a flavorful dish that originates from Italian cuisine but has gained popularity across Latin America. It consists of thinly sliced chicken breasts coated in breadcrumbs mixed with herbs and spices, then pan-fried or baked until golden and crispy. This preparation gives it a satisfying crunch while keeping the chicken tender and juicy. Traditional recipes may include frying the chicken, which can increase calorie and fat content, but healthier variations use baking or air frying. Paired with a fresh salad, rice, or vegetables, Chicken Milanesa can be part of a balanced meal. The dish provides a good source of lean protein from the chicken, though the breadcrumbs and frying oil may contribute to higher carbohydrate and fat levels. For improved nutrition, whole-grain breadcrumbs and lighter cooking methods can be utilized, making it a delicious and healthier option for everyday meals.
