Chicken Milanese Recipe
Inspired by Olive Garden's Culinary Institute of Tuscany, the recipe for Chicken Milanese is featured in the tutorial led by Sr. Executive Chef Paolo Lafata.

The dish is comprised of pan-seared chicken breasts crusted with Italian-herbed bread crumbs and served with Asiago-filled tortelloni tossed with spinach in a garlic cream sauce. It can be enjoyed in restaurants for a limited time or prepared alongside Lafata in your kitchen by visiting www.olivegarden.com/recipes/ demonstrations.

Visitors to www.olivegarden.com can also register to win their own culinary inspiration tour by entering Olive Garden's Sweepstakes. The trip includes an eight-day guided trip for two to Rome, Florence and Olive Garden's Culinary Institute of Tuscany (CIT). Located in a restored 11th-century village in Castellina in Chianti, the CIT provides inspiration for the restaurant's menu and a training for managers and team members.
