Ingredients

• 2 whole chicken breast halves
• 1 cup gluten-free breadcrumbs
• 0.5 cup gluten-free all-purpose flour
• 2 large eggs
• 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon dried oregano
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
• 0.25 cup olive oil
• 1 whole fresh lemon, sliced into wedges

Directions

Step 1

Place the chicken breasts between two sheets of plastic wrap or parchment paper. Using a meat mallet or rolling pin, pound each chicken breast to an even thickness of about 1/2 inch.

Step 2

Season both sides of the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper.

Step 3

Set up a breading station: In one shallow dish, place the gluten-free all-purpose flour. In a second shallow dish, beat the eggs. In a third shallow dish, combine the gluten-free breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, dried oregano, and chopped parsley.

Step 4

Dredge each chicken breast first in the flour, shaking off any excess, then dip into the beaten eggs, and finally coat with the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere.

Step 5

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add the chicken breasts. Cook for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through with an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).

Step 6

Transfer the cooked chicken to a paper towel-lined plate to remove any excess oil.

Step 7

Serve the Chicken Milanese immediately with fresh lemon wedges on the side for squeezing over the top.
