Chicken Milanese With Baby Spring Greens image

This is a moist and flavorful light lunch or dinner recipe. The flavors pop in your mouth with the first bite! It's my adaptation of a recipe I got from Cooking Light May 2010. Hubby requests if frequently, that's how good it is! We sometimes serve Parmesan Orzo on the side.

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 20

2 (6 ounce) boneless skinless chicken breasts
1 (5 ounce) package pre-washed baby spring greens mixed salad greens
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice (to taste)
1 tablespoon white wine vinegar (to taste)
2 tablespoons minced shallots
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt, divided
1/4 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper, divided
1 dash sugar
1/2 cup dry breadcrumbs (plain or seasoned)
1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs
2 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese
1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon grill-mates for chicken
1/4 cup flour
1 egg
1 tablespoon water
3 tablespoons olive oil, divided
2 lemon wedges
1 tomatoes, cut into wedges
1 Asian pear, peeled and cut into wedges

Steps:

  • Combine the lemon juice, white wine vinegar, shallots, 1/8 tsp salt, 1/8 tsp pepper and sugar in mixing cup. Let stand 15-30 minutes while preparing chicken.
  • Place each chicken breast in between 2 sheets of heavy duty plastic wrap, and pound until 1/4 inch-1/2 inch thickness, which ever thickness you prefer, using the smooth side of a meat mallet. Set aside.
  • Combine bread crumbs, Panko, parmesan cheese, garlic powder, and Grill-Mates in a shallow bowl. Beat egg and water in another shallow bowl. Place flour in another shallow bowl and set up a work station in this order. Flour, egg, and bread crumb mixture.
  • Sprinkle chicken with remaining salt and pepper. First dredge each chicken breast first into the flour, then into the egg, and lastly into the bread crumb mixture. Make sure each breast is coated well. Place chicken on a wire rack and let stand 5-10 minutes.
  • Heat 2 TBSP olive oil in a large non stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook 3 minutes, turn and cook 2 minute more, or until browned on both sides.
  • Place chicken on a clean wire rack, put in to a 200* preheated oven for 5-10 minutes to rest.
  • While chicken is resting in the oven, add the remaining 1 TBLS olive oil to the shallot- vinegar mixture. Whisk until blended.
  • Place salad greens in a large serving bowl, pour dressing mixture over top and toss gently with tongs, until salad is completely coated with dressing.
  • Divide salad mixture between 2 plates, top with chicken breasts, and garnish with lemon, tomato, and pear wedges.
  • Enjoy!
  • Note: This may sound a bit labor intensive, it's really not, and it's definitely worth it in the end result. Please try this as is at least once, I'm sure you wont be disappointed!

Time 55m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

Four 6-ounce boneless, skinless chicken breasts
Kosher salt
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
2 cups panko
1 cup freshly grated Parmesan
3 large eggs, beaten
1/4 cup olive oil, plus more as needed
1 lemon, cut in to wedges for serving

Steps:

  • Cover the chicken breasts with plastic wrap and gently pound the chicken out to 1/4-inch thickness. Sprinkle the chicken with salt.
  • Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat to 360 degrees F.
  • Season the flour with salt in a small bowl. Combine the panko and Parmesan in a small bowl. Begin breading the chicken by dredging it in the flour, then the beaten eggs, then the panko mixture, shaking off any excess in between. Let sit at room temperature for up to 30 minutes.
  • Add the oil to the hot skillet, followed by 2 pieces of chicken. Cook until golden brown and crisp on both sides and the chicken is cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Remove the chicken to a wire rack and season it lightly with salt. Repeat with the remaining chicken, adding more oil to the pan as necessary.
  • Serve with a lemon wedge on top of each piece of chicken.
