Chicken Milano

Submitted by Paul Elliott

"I came up with this by playing with my method for chicken parmigiana. The idea came from a restaurant veal dish that had green peppers. I've taken it a few steps further. This is also a delicious recipe for veal."

Thanks for the moist chicken recipe. This was a success. The only problem was that we had tooo much coating. So we prepared with the remaining coating a small frittata that we added to the chicken in the pan.

Excellent! The flavors were superb. I left out the mushrooms (not by choice, I forgot to purchase them), other than that, recipe was made as directed. I really wish I had the mushrooms, I'm sure they would have been wonderful. The only thing I will do differently next time is to use the powdery parmesan cheese that comes in the plastic bottle. I used freshly shredded parmesan cheese in the coating, and it made quite a mess in my frying pan. :) I'll save the good stuff to sprinkle on top. Everyone here loved this, and I will most definitely be making it again. Thanks!
