Chicken Milanesa- Milanesa de Pollo

This recipe is easy to make and it only takes about 25 minutes. Chicken milanesa, refers to a thin cut of meat. Milanesa can be make with beef, chicken and pork. I prefer chicken, more tender and healthy. I bought chicken tenders and used the tenderizer to make the meat thin.

My mother used to cook milanesa every other day for lunch or dinner. She only made beef milanesa and we all enjoy this meal very much.

Milanesa is considered the main dish in our Latin culture, it can be serve with rice, beans, salad, guacamole, mash potatoes etc.
