Steps:
- To prepare the sauce: In a medium saucepan, melt 1 tablespoon of the butter. Add the shallots and cook over moderate heat until softened, 4 minutes. Add the cream, wine and stock and bring to a boil. Simmer over moderate heat until reduced to 1 1/2 cups, 20 minutes. Remove from the heat and whisk in the remaining 5 tablespoons of butter, 1 tablespoon at a time. Add the sage, lemon juice and cayenne. Season with salt and white pepper and cover.
- Meanwhile prepare the chicken: In a shallow bowl, combine the bread crumbs, panko, cheese, lemon zest and thyme. In another shallow bowl, beat the eggs. Season the eggs and chicken cutlets with salt and black pepper. Dip each cutlet in the egg mixture and let the excess drip off, then dredge in the bread crumbs. Transfer the breaded cutlets to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Preheat the oven to 325°. In each of 2 large skillets, heat 1/4 inch of oil until shimmering. Working in batches, add the breaded cutlets and cook over moderately high heat for 1 minute. Lower the heat to moderate and fry, turning once, until the cutlets are browned and crisp, about 4 minutes. Transfer to paper towels to drain, then keep warm in the oven on another baking sheet while you fry the rest.
- Rewarm the sauce over moderate heat, stirring constantly. Arrange the cutlets on plates, sprinkle with the parsley and serve with the sauce.

Steps:
- Lemon Caper Sauce: In a blender, blend olive oil, lemon juice, anchovies, pepper and salt. Pour into a serving bowl and set aside.
- Chicken: Cover chicken with food-grade plastic wrap and beat with a mallet until breasts are thin, about 1/4 inch thick. Season with salt and pepper.
- Place flour in a dish, eggs in a separate dish and the breadcrumbs mixed with cheese in another dish. Dredge each chicken breast in flour, then eggs, then breadcrumb-cheese mixture. Press to coat. .
- In a large frying pan, pour enough oil to reach 1/4 inch deep in the pan and heat over high heat to 350 degrees.
- Working in batches so not to over crowd the pan, fry each breast 3 to 4 minutes a side until golden and cooked through. Place chicken in a 225-degree oven until ready to serve.
- Drizzle prepared sauce over chicken when serving.
Tips:
- For the best results, use boneless, skinless chicken breasts that are about the same size.
- Pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness so that they cook evenly.
- Use a light hand when dredging the chicken in the flour mixture. Too much flour will make the chicken tough.
- Heat the oil and butter over medium heat. If the heat is too high, the chicken will brown too quickly and the inside will be undercooked.
- Cook the chicken for 3-4 minutes per side, or until it is golden brown and cooked through.
- To make the sage and lemon butter sauce, use fresh sage leaves and lemon juice. Dried sage and bottled lemon juice will not give you the same flavor.
- Serve the chicken Milanese with the sage and lemon butter sauce, mashed potatoes, and roasted vegetables.
