Milanesa is a dish of thinly sliced beef or chicken that is breaded and fried, originating from Italian cuisine and widely popular in Latin America, especially Argentina and Mexico. Prepared by coating the meat in flour, egg, and breadcrumbs, Milanesa is often seasoned with salt, pepper, and herbs for added flavor. While rich in protein from the meat, its nutritional profile can vary. The traditional frying method adds fat and calories, making it less ideal for heart health. However, baking instead of frying offers a lighter version. Typically served with sides such as salads, potatoes, or rice, Milanesa can be part of a balanced meal. While it offers the benefit of lean protein and essential minerals, moderation is key when considering the high calorie and fat content of its breaded and fried preparation. Variations allow customization for healthier options.
