Air fryer Mediterranean Chicken Milanese

A few weeks ago I drove to the east end of Long Island in the Peconic area and ate at a small bistro on the way home. As we sat outside in perfect weather, I heard the waitress rave about this fried Milanese chicken with a Mediterranean salad. So of course I ordered it! The air fryer is perfect for preparing crispy breaded chicken, like this recipe for Air Fryer Chicken Tenders and this Air Fryer Chicken Milanese with rocket. Air fryer recipes are one of my top requests, so I promise to share more soon!

What is chicken milanese made of?

Chicken milanese is just chicken schnitzel that's thinly beaten, dredged in eggs, then fried in breadcrumbs and parmesan and pan fried. I loosened up the classic Milanese recipe by air-frying the chops, which requires very little oil.

Fry the chicken chops in the air

After coating the chicken chops with eggs and the panko-parmesan mixture, I sprinkle them with some oil. Then I put them in the air fryer in portions and cook them at 400 degrees for about six minutes, turning them halfway. When the panko is golden brown and the inside is no longer pink, the chicken is done.

This chicken milanese with a Mediterranean salad is basically a complete meal rolled into one. But if you want to top it off, below are some suggestions of what to serve with it:

• Add avocado or cucumber for extra vegetables.
