Base recipe = 2 servings.
300 g chicken breast
3 g garlic
80 g panko breadcrumbs
150 g dry garbanzo beans
500 ml canola oil
120 ml olive oil
160 g red bell pepper
150 g yellow onion
Sea salt, to taste
28 g parsley
400 g cauliflower florets
200 g zucchini
200 g carrots
30 ml lemon juice
60 g Parmesan cheese
Method
Boil the soaked garbanzo beans with garlic, bay leaf, and peppercorns until tender. Purée with lemon juice, Parmesan, and olive oil until smooth.
Prepare the vegetables by blanching the cauliflower and zucchini, sautéing the carrots, and roasting and blending the bell pepper into a sauce.
Bread the chicken with flour, egg wash, and panko breadcrumbs. Pan-fry in canola oil until golden, then finish in the oven until fully cooked.
Chef’s Note: This dish is at its best when the Milanese stays crisp and light, while the garbanzo purée remains smooth and creamy. The pepper sauce and vegetables add sweetness, color, and balance to the plate.
