Chicken Milanese is a simple, classic dish made with thin, crispy breaded chicken cutlets and a bright squeeze of lemon. This recipe focuses on straightforward techniques to create a crisp, golden crust without overwhelming the natural flavor of the chicken.

This recipe is reminiscent of the weeknight dinners I grew up on — angel hair pasta twirled through jarred red sauce, topped with sizzling pan-fried meatballs, and finished with a snowstorm of grated parmesan.

This sandwich is a total homage to the chicken cutlet sandwiches my mom used to make — crispy breaded chicken, a slice of cheddar, iceberg lettuce, and mayo on soft sandwich bread. This version keeps the soul of that original but dials up the flavor and texture with just a few thoughtful upgrades.

These crispy air fryer chicken tenders are a total crowd-pleaser. The panko crust gives them that irresistible crunch, and the sweet chili glaze adds the perfect sticky-sweet-spicy finish. They're easy enough for a weeknight, but honestly fun enough to serve for game night or a casual get-together.
