Make A Better Meal

I adore making a dinner with simple swaps that result in a healthier dish without sacrificing flavor.

I’ve been playing around with Thrive Culinary Algae Oil and I just LOVE how neutral the flavor is, letting the flavors of my dishes shine through, and with such a high smoking point of up to 485 degrees, I’ve been able to master certain fried foods like this chicken Milanese recipe, because the oil doesn’t burn as easily as others! It can be used in place of any oil for baking, salad dressings, and all kinds of cooking.

Using Thrive instead of traditional cooking oils helps replace excess saturated fat with monounsaturated fat, which can help maintain heart health. This culinary algae oil contains 90% monounsaturated fat, which is 25% more good fat than olive oil and avocado oil!

Talk about a win-win, right?! Check out the reviews on Amazon and find it in a store near you!

What’s In This Chicken Milanese Recipe?

The chicken itself is super simple. Just dredge and fry in:

  • seasoned flour
  • whisked egg
  • panko breadcrumbs
  • Thrive® Culinary Algae Oil

You want to pound the chicken super thin. Even when you think it’s thin enough, pound it down some more. I promise you it’s worth it. You want that chicken crazy thin. Thinner than my pictures even!

How To Make The Charred Corn Salad

Put that end-of-summer produce to work in this dish!

  • char corn kernels in a skillet before making the chicken
  • toss with tomatoes, cilantro, and cotija cheese
  • dress with vinaigrette
  • add the arugula and toss once more
  • pile on top of chicken and devour!

I also used the Algae Oil in the dressing to let the flavors of the salad itself be the star of the show. You know I am such a huge fan of charred corn lately, from my corn chimichurri tacos to my charred corn and avocado tostadas. Just noms galore when it comes to charred corn!

Ingredients

For The Salad

  • 2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
  • ¼ cup Thrive® Culinary Algae Oil
  • kosher salt to taste
  • freshly cracked pepper to taste
  • 1 ½ cups fresh corn kernels
  • ½ pint cherry tomatoes halved
  • ¼ cup cilantro roughly chopped
  • ½ cup cotija cheese
  • 2 cups arugula

For The Chicken

  • 4 chicken breast filets pounded thin (around 1.5lbs)
  • ½ cup all-purpose flour
  • kosher salt to taste
  • freshly cracked pepper to taste
  • 2 eggs whisked
  • 3 cups panko
  • 2 tablespoons Thrive® Culinary Algae Oil
US Customary - Metric

Instructions

  • In a small bowl, whisk together the vinegar, Thrive Algae Oil, salt and pepper. Adjust seasoning to taste and set aside.
  • Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the corn kernels in a single layer. Allow to cook, untouched, until charred, about 5 minutes. Remove from pan and place in a large bowl. Add the tomatoes, cilantro, and cotjia cheese and toss with the vinaigrette and set aside to marinate.
  • Place flour on a plate and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Add whisked eggs to a shallow bowl, and place the panko on another plate. Dredge thin chicken breast filets in flour and tap off excess, then dip in the whisked egg and let excess drip off. Finally, dredge in panko breadcrumbs until coated. Repeat with remaining chicken filets.
  • Heat Thrive Algae Oil in the same skillet the corn was charred in, over medium heat. Once hot, add the prepared chicken fillets and let fry until browned and crispy, about 4 minutes per side. Set aside on a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
  • Add the arugula to the bowl with the marinating corn mixture and toss to combine. Add a chicken filet to a plate, then top with a heaping portion of the charred corn, tomato, and arugula salad. Serve immediately and enjoy!
