1/2 teaspoon salt

60 ml lemon juice

60 ml chicken broth

# Steps:
01 -
Slice the chicken breasts in half lengthwise. Using a meat mallet, pound each piece until of even thickness throughout.
02 -
In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper.
03 -
In a separate bowl, combine the grated Parmesan cheese with the all-purpose flour.
04 -
Dip each piece of chicken first into the egg mixture, then dredge it in the Parmesan breading mixture, ensuring an even coating. Shake off any excess from each bowl.
05 -
Heat olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat, just enough to cover the base. Once hot, add coated chicken pieces and cook for 4–5 minutes per side until they are golden, crisp, and have reached 74°C internal temperature. Adjust the heat as necessary to prevent over-browning.
06 -
Simultaneously, melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant. Pour in the chicken broth, lemon juice, and black pepper. Allow the sauce to simmer for 2 minutes.
07 -
Drizzle the sauce over the cooked chicken, turning pieces to ensure even coating. Garnish with sliced lemon and chopped parsley if desired. Serve immediately.
# Notes:
01 -
Bring ingredients to room temperature before breading to ensure even cooking.
