About Frango milanesa

Frango Milanesa is a popular dish originating from Italian cuisine, often adapted and enjoyed in Brazilian kitchens. It features tender chicken breast coated in a crispy breading made of flour, eggs, and seasoned breadcrumbs, then pan-fried or deep-fried to a golden perfection. This comfort food is flavorful and has a satisfying crunch, often served with rice, beans, or salad. While Frango Milanesa is rich in protein from the chicken, the breading and frying process contribute to higher calorie and fat content, making it less ideal for those aiming for low-fat diets. Healthier variations include baking the chicken instead of frying and using whole-grain breadcrumbs for added fiber. Its simplicity and versatility make it a favorite, but mindful preparation can enhance its nutritional value while retaining its beloved taste.
