EASY CHICKEN MILANESE WITH A LEMONY ARUGULA SALAD

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 200° F (this is to keep the first batch of cutlets warm while you cook the rest).
• Prepare the chicken: Pat dry the chicken breasts and place them on a cutting board. Butterfly each chicken breast in half lengthwise by cutting to, but not through, the opposite side using a sharp knife and holding it parallel to the cutting board. This will leave you with four, butterflied portions. Open up the piece of chicken like a book (each half should be about ¼-inch thick. If thicker than that, place the chicken between two pieces of wax paper or plastic wrap and pound it to about ¼-inch thickness, using the flat side of a meat tenderizer. See note *, below.). If the chicken breasts are larger (about 8 oz. each), use only 2 of them and butterfly each into two separate cutlets, leaving you with four, individual portions of about 4 oz. each.
• Prepare your workstation: Put the flour in one shallow and wide bowl (or, a soup plate). Beat the eggs and place them in a second shallow bowl. Combine the breadcrumbs, panko and Parmesan cheese and place that in a third shallow bowl. Season both sides of your chicken with the salt, pepper and garlic powder. One by one, dredge the seasoned chicken in the flour, shaking off any excess, then dip it in the egg wash, then dredge it in the breadcrumb mixture; pat it lightly. Transfer the chicken pieces to a wire rack and chill them uncovered for at least 30 minutes, or, refrigerate for up to 8 hours.
• For the salad: Pour the olive oil and the lemon juice in a small jar and season with salt and pepper. Shake well to combine and set aside. In a bowl toss together the arugula and thinly sliced onion or shallot ribbons.
• Set a large, non-stick, 12-inch skillet over medium heat. Add half of the olive oil and half of the butter and swirl it around. When it is hot, slip in two cutlets (or, as many as can fit comfortably without overlapping), making sure to let them fall away from you so you do not get burned. Cook for 3 minutes, or, until golden brown on the first side. Flip and cook 2-3 minutes more or until cooked through (cooking time will depend on the thickness of the chicken). Using tongs, transfer the chicken to an ovenproof plate, sprinkle lightly with a little salt and pop them into the oven to keep warm. At this point, if the butter in the skillet looks burnt, wipe the pan clean. Add the remaining olive oil and the remaining butter and cook the two other cutlets.
• Arrange the chicken on a warmed serving platter, or, place on individual plates and sprinkle with the parsley. Drizzle the dressing over the salad and mix to combine. Top each chicken with some of the salad. Serve immediately, with a lemon wedge on the side.

ARUGULA SALAD WITH PARMESAN

Steps:

• Place the arugula in a very large bowl, ideally one that could hold twice as many leaves. Drizzle over the olive oil and use your hands to toss lightly, then add the lemon juice and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Lightly toss the greens until they are evenly glossy; avoid overmixing or crushing the greens.
• Add the Parmesan and toss just to incorporate. Taste. If the salad is too sharp, add another drop of oil and toss. If the salad is dull, add a sprinkle of salt and some lemon juice and toss. Eat right away.
