Ingredients & Equipment You’ll Need
- 2 boneless chicken breasts
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs
- 2 cups bread crumbs
- �� cup parmesan cheese
- Salt and Pepper to taste
- Vegetable oil for frying
Equipment: Frying pan, Tongs, 3 wide, deep plates.
Chicken: Your main hero for the recipe. Try using skinless & boneless breasts; they are easier to cut, cook and bite into.
Breadcrumbs: These add the wonderful crunch, giving a wholesome texture to each bite. Can’t find any? Crushed cornflakes make a decent substitute.
How To Make Chicken Milanese Bites
- Start by cutting your chicken breasts into small bite-sized pieces. Season well with salt and pepper.
- In three separate plates, put flour, beaten eggs and a combo of breadcrumbs and grated parmesan.
- Dip each piece of chicken first in flour, then eggs, then the breadcrumbs mixture.
- Once all your bites are ready, heat oil in a frying pan. The oil is ready when a breadcrumb thrown in sizzles.
- Fry the chicken bites until golden and crispy over medium heat, around 2-3 minutes on each side. Use tongs to turn the bites.
- Let them cool on a paper towel to help drain excess oil. Serve hot, with a nice tangy dip!
Tips For The Best Results
- Don’t rush the frying; lower heat gives a crispier bite!
- Use a thermometer to ensure chicken is done inside.
Storage Tips
- Use an airtight container and refrigerate (3-4 days).
- Frozen? Just reheat in an oven.
