Ingredients
- As Needed oil for cooking

- 1 Teaspoon italian seasoning

- ½ Cup shredded parmesan cheese
- 3 Tablespoons flour

- 3 Cloves garlic minced
- ¼ Cup chicken stock
- ¼ Cup fresh lemon juice
- As Needed fresh parsley, minced for garnish
- 2 Large eggs

Instructions
- Combine 1 teaspoon of salt, ½ teaspoon of pepper and ½ teaspoon of italian seasoning. Cut the chicken in half lengthwise and lightly beat out until even thickness is achieved. Pat dry and season with the seasoning mixture.
- In a small bowl combine the eggs and water. Whisk to fully combine. Set aside. In a separate bowl combine the panko breadcrumbs, shredded parmesan cheese, flour, garlic powder, remaining pepper and italian seasoning. Whisking to fully combine.
- Begin breading the chicken by first coating the chicken with the eggwash, letting the excess drip off, then pressing gently into the breadcrumb mixture. Make sure each side gets a generous amount of breading. Continue with all pieces of chicken.
- In a large skillet, heat oil (enough to cover the bottom of the skillet) over medium heat. Cook each piece of chicken until lightly browned, crispy and the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
- In a separate pan melt the butter for the sauce. Once melted add in the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant. Whisk in the lemon juice and chicken stock. Cook for 2 minutes over medium heat. Pour over chicken, garnish with parsley and serve. Enjoy!
