If you’re wondering what to serve with your chicken milanese, you’ve come to the right place.
In this article, I list 12 of the most popular side dishes for chicken milanese.
In a rush? Here’s the short answer.
The best side dishes to serve with chicken milanese are garlic & herb potato wedges, a simple spinach salad, or sauteed broccoli. Pasta sides like creamy tomato penne or lemon butter pasta are also great. And for something a little different, try baked beans or apple slaw.
Ready? let’s jump right in.
Spinach salad
The most classic pairing for a chicken milanese is an easy side salad.
The simplicity of this ensures that the chicken stays the star of the show, and that the meal doesn’t get too heavy.
Julia uses an easy 4-ingredient dressing for her salad. And I like to add some fresh cherry tomatoes for an extra pop of color.
Apple slaw
You know what they say, an apple a day keeps the doctor away.
But why stop there?
Autumn is the perfect time of year for this apple slaw.
The crisp apples make for a refreshing salad that’s so good, you might even forget about the chicken milanese it’s supposed to be served with.
But don’t worry, the chicken will still be there when you’re ready for it.
Creamy penne pasta
This creamy tomato pasta recipe is the perfect last-minute side dish for your chicken milanese.
The silky tomato sauce comes together quickly and uses everyday ingredients, so it’s great for a weeknight dinner.
Place the chicken on top of the pasta and be generous with the cheese.
Garlic & herb potato wedges
Forget about the potato chips and whip up a batch of these delicious potato wedges.
The thick wedges of golden potato goodness are crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside.
Not convinced?
Well, try these garlic and herb wedges and I bet you’ll be a convert.
They’re so good, you won’t be able to stop eating them.
KFC copycat gravy
KFC gravy is the stuff of legend.
Just imagine pouring the thick, rich sauce all over your chicken milanese.
But what is it that makes KFC gravy so irresistible?
SPOILER ALERT: It’s not some magic ingredient that only the Colonel knows about.
In fact, with this easy recipe, you can make KFC gravy at home in just 4 minutes.
The key is to use both chicken and beef stock cubes.
Wild rice and arugula salad
This salad is a marriage of fresh and nutty flavors.
The wild rice provides a hearty base, while the arugula, cucumber, and spring onions add a fresh crunch.
Then the mint and acidic vinaigrette tie everything together with their bright flavor.
Add the chicken milanese for some protein and you’ll have a healthy, satisfying meal.
Sauteed broccoli
Sometimes a simple veggie side is all you need.
And you can’t get much more simple than sauteed broccoli.
All you need is broccoli, oil, and whatever seasonings you like. You can stick with salt and pepper, or go wild with something like chili and lime.
Dishing Out Health cooks their broccoli so it gets a little charred on the edges, and it’s delicious!
Psst… pretty much any vegetable would work!
Lemon butter pasta
No matter where you go, chicken milanese always comes with a lemon wedge on the side.
But what if there was a way to make your meal even more lemony?
Enter: lemon butter pasta.
This dish is creamy and cheesy, but with a tart and tangy citrus sauce that will have you licking your plate clean.

Copy-cat Heinz baked beans
Chicken milanese is like a big, fancy chicken nugget.
And to turn it into the ultimate comfort meal, I suggest you serve it with a side of saucey baked beans (plus some fries).
You can use the chicken milanese to mop up all the tasty tomato sauce.
Psst… if you love Heinz baked beans, this recipe from RecipeTinEats tastes almost exactly like them.
Sour cream and chive mashed potatoes
Mashed potatoes are a classic side dish to pair with a chicken Milanese.
But if you’re getting bored of the traditional rich and buttery recipe, switch things up with this yummy variation instead.
Adding sour cream and chives gives your mash a slight tanginess and a bright onion-y flavor.
This sour cream and chive mashed potato could well be your new go-to recipe.
Mushroom risotto
Turn your chicken milanese into a restaurant-quality meal with a bed of mushroom risotto.
The earthy flavor of the mushrooms brings some umami to the dish and the soft texture will contrast wonderfully with the crisp chicken.
And the best part? You can make this tasty mushroom risotto in less than one hour.
Sauteed spinach
Sautéed spinach is another very simple side, but it’s packed with healthy nutrients. And it can be very flavorsome when you cook it right.
Anna’s recipe uses caramelized onions and loads of garlic to flavor her spinach. And if you want to add even more flavor, you can throw in a few pieces of chopped bacon.
The whole thing will only take around 10 minutes to get on the table.
