Whoever invented Milanese has some serious Jedi-mind-trick stuff going on. It’s a salad—but on top of a fried chicken cutlet. It’s like spa food. But it’s fried chicken. Remind yourself which part of this dish is boss by using both regular and panko breadcrumbs for extra crunchy crispy goodness, but you can also just double up on one of them.
