If you are wondering what the difference is between a Chicken Milanese and a Chicken Schnitzel, the answer is…. parmesan.
A chicken schnitzel recipe is traditionally done just with breadcrumbs. While a Milanese is crusted in parmesan.
The Ingredients
How to Make It
This recipe is perfect to bake, fry or even air fry. Choose your favourite.
As such a lazy cook I much prefer popping it in the oven and setting the time and doing something else, plus clean up is a breeze.
To air fry; bake at 200°C for 10-12 minutes. I only turn mine over with the last few minutes remaining to cook.
If you are choosing to fry, use a little duck fat, or lard. Heat the oil to medium heat and shallow or deep fry until cooked through.

Milanese is one of my favourite recipes and this didn’t let down my expectations …. Thankyou again for another outstanding meal & Thankyou for letting me test it for
You.
Thanks for the feedback Sue
Oh wow. I had no idea how flavour packed this meal is. This will be one of our regular meals from now on. I had my grandkids over and they loved it. I love easy meals and this one is quick and easy to make. Thanks Megan for another great recipe
This is 10/10 delicious! What a great dish!
Not sure what happened but it was a bit of a fail for me (oven method) ended a soggy mess! But the taste was amazing! Will try again and maybe shallow fry next time.
Love these! I subbed the lemon for ACV and thyme for oregano because that’s what I had on hand. I tripled the recipe with the intention of freezing some for lunches but the family loved them too much for any to even make it to the fridge.
Haha! That is what happens when something is too yummy! Next time in bulk lol
YUM .. perfect with a side of cauliflower dauphinoise 😍
Love your recipes Megan.
I’m still catching up 🤣🤣🤣
Awesome! You are really taking a few step backs in time to some older recipes.
What to say – my family coukd eat this every day. Such an amazing flavour, 👏 😍 Thank you Megan!
So happy you enjoyed it Nina
