Sauce:

8 Tbsp. butter

2 garlic cloves minced
·
1/4 cup lemon juice
·
1/4 cup chicken broth

1/4 tsp ground black pepper
Instructions
1.
Cut the chicken breasts in half lengthwise. Lightly beat with a meat mallet until even in thickness.
2.
In a bowl, whisk together the ingredients for
the egg mixture. In another bowl, combine the ingredients for the parmesan
mixture. Dip chicken into the egg mixture, and then dredge chicken in the
parmesan mixture. Allow any excess ingredients to fall off from each bowl.
3.
In a large skillet, heat enough oil to cover the bottom of a skillet.
Once hot, add the chicken and cook 4-5 minutes per side, or until crispy,
golden and cooked through. Reduce the heat
if chicken browns too quickly.
4. Meanwhile, in a separate saucepan, melt butter and garlic, cook until fragrant. Add the chicken broth, lemon juice and pepper. Allow the sauce to cook for about 2 minutes. Pour the sauce over the cooked chicken, turning to coat. Garnish with lemon slices and finely chopped parsley if desired.
