What is milanesa de pollo?
It’s a thinly sliced piece of chicken, usually the breast, that is breaded and fried in oil. It can also be “fried” in the air fryer for a slightly healthier version!
What to make with milanesa de pollo?
Torta de milanesa de pollo is always a great idea and super popular! If you just want to do it with a couple of sides you can make a salad, rice, and/or beans. Serving with on top of any pasta or spaghetti dish is always good too!
Step by step process – How to make milanesa de pollo
Add 1 cup of flour, 1 teaspoon of salt, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper to a dish big enough to fit a slice of chicken. Give it a good mix.
In another bowl or dish crack and whisk together 3 eggs, set aside.
In a 3rd dish add 1 cup of bread crumbs, set aside.
Take 1 piece of your sliced chicken and dredge it in the flour mixture.
Next, dip it in the egg.
Lastly dredge the chicken in the bread crumbs and coat really well.
Over medium to medium-low flame, heat a neutral oil about ¼ inches up a pan big enough to fit 1 piece of meat.
Once it has come up to the proper temperature (End of a wooden spoon should bubble), add 1 of the pieces of breaded chicken and let cook approximately 2 minutes per side, making sure it’s not burning the breadcrumbs.
Once both sides have been cooked, remove from the oil and place on a cooling rack or paper towel lined dish, to pick up and excess oil.
Serve with some Mexican rice or refried beans. Also great paired with salad. My favorite way to have this is paired with espagueti verde!
