The milanese, the lightly breaded, lightly fried, close cousin to the parmigiana, is normally seen in these parts with a nicely pounded piece of chicken. But that delightful crunch can't just be confined to the cluck cluck contingent. Flaky, light fish takes to this delicate preparation like… like… well, like a fish to water. The analogy may not be perfect, but the meal surely is. Tip: This recipe has a shallot, which sometimes is rough to mince. Easiest way to mince shallot? Make thin slices lengthwise, then slices across, resulting in minced shallot.

Customize It Instructions
-
If using whole chicken breasts, follow same instructions as tilapia in Steps 1, 3, and 4, cooking until chicken reaches minimum internal temperature, 5-7 minutes per side.
-
If using pork chops, follow same instructions as tilapia in Steps 1, 3, and 4, cooking until pork reaches minimum internal temperature, 4-6 minutes per side. Rest, 3 minutes. Pork chop thickness can vary; if you receive a thinner chop, we recommend checking for doneness sooner.

2 Marinate the Tomatoes
In a mixing bowl, combine tomatoes, shallot, red wine vinegar, 1 Tbsp. olive oil, 1/4 tsp. salt, and a pinch of pepper. Set aside at least 10 minutes for flavors to marry.
While tomatoes marinate, prepare and cook tilapia. -
3 Prepare the Tilapia
Combine sour cream, 1/4 tsp. salt, and 1/4 cup cold water in another mixing bowl.
Place panko evenly on a plate or shallow bowl.Dip tilapia into sour cream mixture, coating completely. Transfer tilapia to plate with panko, flipping to fully cover both sides and pressing gently to adhere. -

Place a medium non-stick pan over medium-high heat. Add 2 Tbsp. olive oil to hot pan and let heat, 1 minute.Test oil temperature by adding a pinch of panko to it. It should sizzle gently. If it browns immediately, turn heat down and let oil cool. If it doesn't brown, increase heat.Working in batches, add tilapia to hot pan and cook until golden brown and tilapia reaches an internal temperature of 145 degrees, 3-5 minutes per side, adding 1 Tbsp. olive oil between batches.Transfer tilapia to towel-lined plate.
