PREPARATION:
Chicken Fillet Milanese Without Frying (this step must be done before continuing the pre-preparation):
- Preheat the oven to 230°C.
- Grease a baking tray with a little oil.
- Portion the chicken fillet: 1 steak per person.
- Cover the whisk with cling film.
- Beat the chicken fillets with the whisk so that they have a uniform height.
- Season with lemon, salt and pepper.
- Set aside 3 deep bowls or plates.
- First, beat the egg with a little water (optional) and season with salt.
- In another place the wheat flour and in the third the breadcrumbs or panko mixed with paprika.
- First dip the chicken fillets in the wheat flour, shaking to remove the excess.
- Then add the beaten egg and drain.
- Finally, coat them in breadcrumbs or panko mixed with paprika and press well so that they are evenly breaded.
- Place the breaded chicken fillets in the lightly greased pan and drip the oil onto each one in a zigzag pattern.
- Place in a preheated oven at 230°C and cook for about 50 minutes, turning them halfway through cooking.
- Continue with the preparation of the tomato sauce.
