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.
