Description

This is an easy way to make a tasty chicken dinner. My kids really love the flavor of the chicken and the crispiness of the skin.

Ingredients 

Chicken Milanese Ingredients:

  • 1/2 cup Panko breadcrumbs
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 4 chicken breasts, boneless and skinless
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Sauce Ingredients:

  • 2 teaspoons olive oil
  • 2 cups grape tomatoes, halved
  • 1 shallot, peeled and diced
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 cup fresh basil leaves, torn
  • 1/4 cup red wine

Instructions

  • Place each chicken breast between two pieces of plastic wrap and gently pound them to an even thickness, about 1/2 inch thick. Season both sides with salt and pepper.
  • In a shallow dish, mix together the Panko breadcrumbs and grated Parmesan cheese. Spray each chicken breast lightly with non-stick cooking spray, then dredge in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to ensure the crumbs adhere well.
  • Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) if necessary. Place the breaded chicken breasts in the air fryer basket, ensuring they don't overlap. You may need to work in batches depending on the size of your air fryer.
  • Cook for about 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway through, or until the chicken is golden brown and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
  • While the chicken cooks, heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the diced shallot and sauté until soft and translucent, about 2-3 minutes.
  • Add the grape tomatoes, salt, and pepper, cooking until the tomatoes start to soften and release their juices, about 5 minutes.
  • Pour in the red wine, scraping any bits off the bottom of the pan. Allow the sauce to simmer and reduce slightly, about 3-4 minutes.
  • Stir in the fresh basil leaves and remove from heat.
  • Once the chicken is done, serve each piece topped with a generous spoonful of the tomato sauce.
