Hey guys today we bring you something really tasty and easy to prepare we are talking about Peruvian food , Peruvian in this case “Milanesa” is kind of a super thin chicken Burger, it’s kinda crunchy outside and soft inside, it’s perfect to eat with a sandwich or any dish, in Peru we eat it with many dishes (with Mushed Potatoes, Fries and salad , Pesto spaghetti, just to mention some). Would you like to try it? If so, let’s start!

Remember most of the ingredients and tools I use would be on the bottom so you can get them too!

Peruvian “Milanesa” | Servings 4

Ingredients:

  • 250 grams of ground chicken (0.5 lb)
  • 2 cups of flavorless non-sweet flakes or 8 soda crackers
  • 3 sticks of spring onion (optional)
  • 2 teaspoon of salt 
  • 1 teaspoon of ground black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon of ground praprika
  • 1 teaspoon of garlic powder
  • 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil to fry the patties(any vegetable oil and 2 per Pattie) 

As you can see ingredients aren’t that hard to get probably most of them you have them in your kitchen already, if you have chicken breasts , you can get the texture like grounded with the help of your knife and a meat tenderizer hammer, so let’s start cooking!

Instructions:

  • With the help of a food processor , process all the ingredients except the chicken.
  • Process until you get like a crumbled bread texture
  • Mix and integrate the Chicken with the crumbled mix

  • Once is all integrated make like a big Pattie and cut into four peices
  • Flatten all the patties with you hand really thin

  • Get your pan ready in medium/high heat with 2 tablespoons of oil , we don’t want it too hot so be careful with the heat and Cook it for 3 minutes each side

Repeat steps for the other ones, and enjoy em!

Some tips:

  • Remember to add some oil once you finish your pattie if you are cooking all at the same time use 1 tablespoon per pattie.
  • it’s better to cook once at the time , in that way they won’t get burned.
  • You can freeze them and they will last for 3 days
