1 Tbsp. parsley to garnish (optional)
·
1/2 lemon sliced for garnish (optional)

For the Egg Mixture:

2 large eggs
·
1 garlic clove minced
·
1/2 tsp Italian seasoning
·
1/2 tsp salt
·
1/4 tsp ground black pepper
For the Parmesan Breading
Mixture:

1 cup Parmesan cheese grated
·
3 Tbsp. all purpose flour.
·
Ingredients for Lemon Butter
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.

A
philosophy professor once stood up before his class with a large empty
mayonnaise jar. He filled the jar to the top with large rocks and asked his
students if the jar was full.
His students all agreed the jar was full.
He then
added small pebbles to the jar, and gave the jar a bit of a shake so the
pebbles could disperse themselves among the larger rocks. Then he asked again,
“Is the jar full now?”
The students agreed that the jar was still full.
The
professor then poured sand into the jar to fill up all the remaining empty
space.
The students then agreed again that the jar was full.
The Metaphor:
In this story, the jar represents your life and
the rocks, pebbles, and sand are the things that fill up your life. The rocks represent
the most important projects and things you have going on, such as spending time
with your family and maintaining proper health. This means that if the pebbles
and the sand were lost, the jar would still be full and your life would
still have meaning.
The pebbles represent the things in your life that matter,
but that you could live without. The pebbles are certainly things that give
your life meaning (such as your job, house, hobbies, and friendships), but they
are not critical for you to have a meaningful life. These things often
come and go, and are not permanent or essential to your overall well-being.
Finally, the sand represents the remaining filler things in
your life, and material possessions. This could be small things such as watching television, browsing through your favorite social media site, or running
errands. These things don't mean much to your life as a whole, and are
likely only done to waste time or get small tasks accomplished.
The Moral:
The
metaphor here is that if you start with putting sand into the jar, you will not
have room for rocks or pebbles. This holds true with the things you let into
your life. If you spend all of your time on the small and insignificant
things, you will run out of room for the things that are actually important.
In order to have a more effective and efficient life, pay
attention to the “rocks,” because they are critical to your long-term well-being.
Man must show kindness from the heart towards animals, because those who use being cruel to them are just as insensitive to men.[Immanuel Kant]
