Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by butterflying the boneless, skinless chicken breasts and pound them to a thickness of about ½ inch. Season both sides with salt and black pepper.
  2. Prepare your dredging station with three bowls: one with flour, one with whisked eggs and a splash of milk, and one with panko, Parmesan, garlic, Italian seasoning, paprika, and parsley.
  3. Dredge the chicken in the flour, dip it in the egg wash, then press it into the breadcrumb mixture to coat both sides. Let it rest for 5–10 minutes.
  4. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Fry the breaded chicken pieces for about 4–5 minutes per side or until golden brown and cooked through.
  5. Transfer the chicken to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Let it rest for 5 minutes before serving garnished with parsley, Parmesan cheese, and lemon wedges.
