Ingredients
- 2 pieces Chicken breasts
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 cup Gluten-free breadcrumbs
- 0.5 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 2 large Eggs
- 2 tablespoons Milk
- 0.5 cup Cornstarch
- 0.25 cup Olive oil
- 4 pieces Lemon wedges
Directions
Step 1
Place the chicken breasts between two pieces of plastic wrap or parchment paper. Use a meat mallet or rolling pin to pound them to an even thickness of about 1/4 inch.
Step 2
In a shallow dish, mix together the gluten-free breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, dried oregano, and garlic powder. Season with a little salt and pepper to taste.
Step 3
In another shallow dish, beat the eggs together with the milk until well combined.
Step 4
Place the cornstarch into a third shallow dish.
Step 5
Season the pounded chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides.
Step 6
Dip each chicken breast first into the cornstarch, making sure to coat both sides lightly. Shake off any excess.
Step 7
Next, dip the chicken into the egg mixture, allowing any excess to drip off, then coat thoroughly with the breadcrumb mixture. Press down gently to ensure the crumbs adhere well.
Step 8
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Step 9
Once the oil is hot, carefully add the breaded chicken breasts to the skillet. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Step 10
Transfer the cooked Chicken Milanesa to a paper towel-lined plate to absorb any excess oil.
Step 11
Serve hot with lemon wedges on the side for squeezing over the top before enjoying.
