Crisp, golden chicken breast Milanese in a Parmesan coating – an Italian twist on the classic schnitzel Gluten-free version: Gluten-free breadcrumbs and Gluten-free flour blend.

Spread the gluten-free flour blend on a flat plate.
💡The gluten-free flour blend dries the surface, the egg sticks to it and holds whatever comes next. Without the gluten-free flour blend, the coating tends to peel off during frying.
2
Beat the eggs in a wide bowl.

💡Work with one "dry" hand for the dry coating and one "wet" hand for the egg, so your fingers don't get caked in layers of coating.
3
On another flat plate, mix the crumbs with the Parmesan, oregano, salt and black pepper.

4
Place the cutlets between two sheets of plastic wrap and pound with a meat mallet to an even thickness of ½–1 cm.

💡Even thickness is the secret: a cutlet that's thick on one side and thin on the other comes out dry at the edge and raw in the middle.
💡Pound gently from the center outward: the goal is even thickness, not the thinnest possible cut, and torn meat dries out as it cooks.
5
Pat the cutlets dry with paper towels and season with a little salt and pepper.
6
Pass each cutlet through the breading stations in order, pressing well so the coating sticks.
7
Heat the oil in a wide pan over medium-high heat and fry 3–4 minutes on each side, until the coating is golden and crisp.

💡What you brown (meat, patties, schnitzel) goes into hot oil: in lukewarm oil it soaks it up and comes out greasy. For onion and garlic that you soften, oil heated over medium or low heat is enough; do not wait for it to smoke.
8
Transfer to paper towels.
9
Serve hot with the lemon.
