If you love ricotta and penne, this dish is perfect! I wanted to post in case anyone else wanted to try, plus, you can see the nutritional information.

CHICKEN MILANESE



Chicken Milanese image

I made this recipe up after not finding very many recipes for chicken milanese to go with my pasta. It is quick and delicious.

Provided by Sherbear1

Categories     World Cuisine Recipes     European     Italian

Time 30m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 eggs
kosher salt to taste
ground black pepper to taste
¾ cup all-purpose flour
1 cup Italian seasoned bread crumbs
2 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves, thinly sliced
¼ cup vegetable oil for frying
1 lemon, cut into wedges

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 200 degrees F (95 degrees C).
  • Beat eggs with salt and pepper in a shallow dish. Spread flour in another dish and bread crumbs in a third dish.
  • Working with one piece at a time, gently press chicken into the flour to coat and shake off the excess flour. Dip into the beaten egg, then press into bread crumbs. Gently toss between your hands so any bread crumbs that haven't stuck can fall away. Place the breaded chicken onto a plate while breading the rest; do not stack.
  • Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Pan-fry chicken in batches of 2 or 3 pieces until golden brown and no longer pink in the center, about 2 to 4 minutes per side. Transfer cooked chicken to a baking sheet and keep warm in preheated oven while cooking remaining chicken.
  • Serve with lemon wedges.

Tips:

  • To achieve the perfect al dente texture for your penne, cook it according to the package instructions, usually around 10-12 minutes, or until it reaches your desired tenderness.
  • When cooking the chicken, season it liberally with salt and pepper, and cook it over medium heat to prevent it from drying out. Use a meat thermometer to ensure it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) before removing it from the pan.
  • Use high-quality ingredients for the best flavor. Fresh baby spinach, juicy sun-dried tomatoes, and a flavorful Alfredo sauce are essential for this dish.
  • Feel free to customize the dish to your taste. Add more vegetables, such as broccoli or mushrooms, or swap the chicken for shrimp or tofu for a vegetarian option.
  • Serve the penne Milanese immediately after cooking, garnished with freshly grated Parmesan cheese and chopped parsley, for the best taste and appearance.

Olive Garden's penne Milanese is a delicious and versatile pasta dish that can be easily recreated at home with a few simple ingredients and steps.
