Chicken Milanese

This dish is perfect for those times you’re craving Italian and don’t want to order out. Here’s the best part… you probably have all these ingredients in your kitchen already. The chicken comes out crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside.

And if you have a little bit of arugula and parmesan in your fridge – top it on the chicken right before eating!
