About


As the More is More Mom®, I’m all about……..more family dinners! For those that do all of the cooking in their households, there are times when you can start to feel like a short order cook. This one likes green beans, that one is willing to eat carrots, but no one will touch asparagus with a ten foot pole. One craves meat, the other pasta but everyone likes breakfast for dinner. However, for my family, there is something about Chicken Milanese that everyone is willing to eat. Maybe it’s because the chicken has a nice breaded crust, like the ever popular chicken nuggets for the kids, while the panko breadcrumbs and grated Parmesan offer something a little more sophisticated for the grownups.
Sinfully Simple Chicken Milanese:
How could something that sounds so elegant possibly be easy? Well, you have to know that Milanese simply refers to meat dipped in a beaten egg, then dredged in a parmesan-bread crumb mixture.
