Milanese (Argentinean Schnitzel) Chicken

by Editorial Staff

Argentine Milanese is the most typical schnitzel made with chicken or beef tenderloin. The dish is very similar to a traditional chop, but the difference is that the meat is not beaten, but fried in batter and breaded. Chicken schnitzel batter is prepared with aromatic herbs and garlic.
