Veal Milanese (Italian: cotoletta alla milanese, Italian: [kotoˈletta alla milaˈneːze, -eːse]; Milanese: co(s)toletta a la milanesa, Lombard: [ku(s)tuˈlɛta a la milaˈneːza]; from French côtelette)[1] is a popular variety of cotoletta (veal cutlet preparation) from the city of Milan, Italy. It is traditionally prepared with a veal rib chop or sirloin bone-in and made into a breaded cutlet, fried in butter.[2] Due to its shape, it is often called oreggia d'elefant in Milanese or orecchia d'elefante in Italian, meaning 'elephant's ear'.[3]

A common variation made with chicken is popular in English-speaking countries and bears the name "chicken Milanese" (Italian: pollo alla milanese).[4]
