Le gaulois
These are thin, breaded chicken cutlets seasoned with tomato and oregano. They are made from chicken breast that has been flattened and coated in a breadcrumb mixture. The addition of tomato and oregano gives them a distinct Italian-inspired flavor profile. They are designed for quick preparation and can be a convenient meal option.
These cutlets are versatile and can be enjoyed in many ways. They are perfect for a quick weeknight dinner or a casual lunch.
To prepare, heat a little oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Carefully place the Milanaises in the hot oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Cook for a few minutes on each side until golden brown and the chicken is cooked through. Alternatively, they can be baked in a preheated oven until heated and crispy. Ensure they reach an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) for safety.
Compared to plain breaded chicken cutlets, these have a pronounced tomato and oregano flavor. This seasoning blend makes them suitable for dishes where those flavors are desired, such as Italian-inspired meals, without needing to add extra spices.
