Popular throughout latin america, milanesas are very thin cutlets (typically beef or chicken) that are breaded and fried, italian-style. They're easy to make and perfect for a quick supper. Batter thinly sliced top round with beaten egg and seasoned bread crumbs. Fry the slices in oil for a few minutes on each side, drain on paper towels, and serve. You can make milanesas with chicken breasts, too (pollo a la milanesa)be sure to pound them to a thin, even thickness. Milanesas are delicious served with chimichurri sauce or guasacaca. For another style, try argentinian italian-style milanesa napolitana.
