Chicken Milanese is a classic Italian comfort food dish—a tummy pleaser that is also super simple to make and totally kid-approved. This is a recipe I learned how to make in Italy from my Italian roommate and when this dish is dressed up with some tangy arugula and some shaved Parmigiano Reggiano sprinkled on top, it is so pretty looking that it’s even dinner party worthy! I like to serve this as a main course for family dinner, or as a second course to pasta when we have people over.
4boneless skinless chicken breasts , pounded to ¼ inch thickness (if you have a nice butcher they can do the pounding for you, otherwise, I put the breasts between doubled-up sheets of wax paper and use a mallet to pound them down.)
