Ingredients

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
2 large eggs
1 1/2 cups Panko breadcrumbs
1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
1 tbsp Italian seasoning
1 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
3 tbsp olive oil
2 tbsp unsalted butter
Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Lemon wedges (for serving)

Instructions

Place the chicken breasts on a cutting board, cover with plastic wrap, and pound them to an even 1/2-inch thickness using a meat mallet.
Prepare three shallow bowls. In the first bowl, place the flour. In the second bowl, beat the eggs. In the third bowl, whisk together the Panko breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
Dredge each chicken breast in the flour and shake off excess. Dip into the beaten eggs, allowing excess to drip off. Finally, press the chicken firmly into the Parmesan-breadcrumb mixture, ensuring both sides are well coated.
Heat the olive oil and butter in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Once the butter foams, add the chicken breasts (in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding).
Cook for 3 to 4 minutes per side until the crust is deep golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Transfer the chicken to a plate, let rest for 2 minutes, then garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately with lemon wedges.
