Chicken Milanese

Directions

1. Adjust oven rack to middle position and heat oven to 200 degrees.
2. Pulse bread and 1/4 cup cheese in food processor until coarsely ground; transfer to shallow dish.
3. Combine remaining cheese and flour in second shallow dish.
4. Beat eggs with garlic and lemon zest in third shallow dish.
5. Pat chicken dry with paper towels and season with salt and pepper. One at a time, coat cutlets lightly with cheese-flour mixture, dip in egg mixture, and then dredge in bread crumbs, pressing to adhere.
6. Heat 1/4 cup oil in large nonstick skillet over medium heat until just smoking. Fry half of cutlets until deep golden and crisp, about 2 minutes per side. Drain on paper towel-lined plate and transfer to oven to keep warm.
7. Discard oil, wipe out skillet, and repeat with remaining oil and cutlets.
8. Sprinkle cutlets with lemon juice and serve.
