Method

For Chicken Milanese

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    Place the chicken breasts between two sheets of plastic wrap and pound them to an even thickness of about 1/2 inch.

  2. 2

    Set Up Breading Station

    In three shallow dishes, place the flour in the first, beaten eggs in the second, and combine panko breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper in the third.

  3. 3

    Bread the Chicken

    Dredge each chicken breast in flour, shaking off excess. Dip in the beaten eggs, then coat with the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere.

  4. 4

    Fry the Chicken

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Carefully add breaded chicken breasts and cook until golden brown, about 4-5 minutes per side. Remove and let drain on paper towels.

For Lemon Butter

  1. 5

    Make Lemon Butter

    In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the butter. Stir in lemon juice, lemon zest, and chopped parsley. Keep warm until ready to serve.

For Mashed Potatoes

  1. 6

    Cook the Potatoes

    In a large pot, add cubed potatoes and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil and cook until tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain well.

  2. 7

    Mash the Potatoes

    Return the potatoes to the pot and add milk, butter, salt, and pepper. Mash until smooth and creamy.

For Fried Artichokes

  1. 8

    Prepare Artichokes

    If using canned artichokes, drain and pat dry. If using frozen, thaw and pat dry.

  2. 9

    Set Up Breading Station

    Set up a similar breading station as for the chicken: flour in one dish, beaten egg in another, and panko breadcrumbs in a third.

  3. 10

    Bread the Artichokes

    Dredge the artichoke hearts in flour, dip in egg, then coat with breadcrumbs.

  4. 11

    Fry the Artichokes

    In a separate skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Fry the breaded artichokes until golden and crispy, about 3-4 minutes. Drain on paper towels.
