Weeknight-friendly Argentinian cooking: Milanesa de Pollo comes together in 30 minutes with chicken breasts, breadcrumbs, and not much else.

✓ USDA-verified nutrition data

Ingredients

• 1.5 lb Chicken breasts
• 2 cups Breadcrumbs
• 3 Eggs
• 2 cloves Garlic
• 1/4 cup Parsley
• 1 Lemon
• 1 cup Vegetable oil

Steps

1. Butterfly the chicken breasts and pound to an even 1/3 inch — chicken dries out fast if one end is thick and the other thin.
2. Marinate 15 minutes in the garlicky, parsley-flecked beaten egg; the acid-free marinade flavors without toughening.
3. Press into breadcrumbs, rest 10 minutes, then shallow-fry 3–4 minutes per side until golden and cooked through.
4. Drain, salt, and serve with lemon; pollo milanesas love a sharp squeeze of citrus.
5. Slice leftovers over a salad the next day — cold milanesa on greens with lemon is a legitimate lunch.
