This chicken brizol coats thin chicken slices with flour and egg, then pan-fries them until golden and cooked through. Whisk the eggs with milk, work in batches and use a thermometer to check the thickest piece before serving. Pat chicken dry and slice into thin even cutlets. Season with salt and pepper. Whisk eggs and milk in a shallow bowl. Place flour in a second shallow dish. Dip each chicken slice in flour, shake off excess, then coat in egg mixture. Heat oil in a skillet over medium. Cook cutlets in batches 3 to 4 minutes per side until golden and the thickest piece reaches 74°C (165°F). Sprinkle with grated cheese and herbs while hot. Serve promptly.
