Lightly breaded chicken breast topped with homemade marinara sauce, honey ham & melted swiss cheese. Served with white rice, black beans and sweet plantains.

Pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness of about 1/2 inch using a meat mallet. This helps them cook evenly.

Prepare the Chicken

Set up a breading station with three shallow dishes: one with flour mixed with salt and pepper, another with beaten eggs, and the third with bread crumbs.

Breading Setup

Dredge each chicken breast first in the flour, then dip in the beaten eggs, and finally coat with bread crumbs, pressing gently to adhere.

Bread the Chicken

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Fry the breaded chicken breasts for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Drain on paper towels.

Cook the Chicken

Top each chicken breast with a slice of honey ham and a slice of Swiss cheese. Cover the skillet to melt the cheese slightly, about 2 minutes.

Assemble the Milanesa

In a saucepan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant but not browned.

Sauté Garlic

Add canned crushed tomatoes, oregano, salt, and pepper. Stir well and let the sauce simmer for about 15-20 minutes until thickened.

Make the Sauce

Stir in fresh basil just before serving for added flavor.

Finish the Sauce

Rinse the white rice under cold water until the water runs clear. In a pot, combine rice with 2 cups of water, bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 18-20 minutes until the rice is cooked.

Cook the Rice

Heat black beans in a saucepan over medium heat until warmed through, about 5-7 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Prepare Black Beans

Peel the sweet plantains and slice them diagonally. In a skillet, heat oil over medium heat and fry the plantain slices for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown. Drain on paper towels.
