Method

Preparing the Chicken Milanese

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides.

  2. 2

    Dredging Station

    Set up a dredging station with three shallow dishes: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with breadcrumbs.

  3. 3

    Coat the Chicken

    Coat each chicken breast in flour, then dip into the egg, and finally coat with breadcrumbs, pressing gently to adhere.

  4. 4

    Fry the Chicken

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the breaded chicken breasts and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Drain on paper towels.

Preparing the Shaved Brussels Sprout Caesar Salad

  1. 5

    Prepare the Brussels Sprouts

    Trim the ends of the Brussels sprouts and slice them very thinly (you can use a mandoline for this).

  2. 6

    Make the Dressing

    In a small bowl, whisk together lemon juice, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, olive oil, salt, and black pepper to create the dressing.

  3. 7

    Assemble the Salad

    In a large bowl, combine the shaved Brussels sprouts and Parmesan cheese. Drizzle with the dressing and toss to combine.

Garnishing and Serving

  1. 8

    Plate the Dish

    On a serving plate, place the fried chicken Milanese, top with the shaved Brussels sprout Caesar salad.

  2. 9

    Add Garnish

    Sprinkle pomegranate seeds and grated Pecorino cheese over the top for a festive finish.

  3. 10

    Serve

    Serve immediately and enjoy your Chicken Milanese with a refreshing salad.
