Instructions
- Place the chicken breasts on a work surface. Slice them in half horizontally and pound to create 4 cutlets.

- Line up three shallow bowls, cake or pie pans are perfect.
- In the first, place the flour.
- In the second, whisk together the eggs.
- In the third, combine the breadcrumbs and garlic powder.
- Start by coating both sides of a chicken breast in the flour, then dip both sides into the eggs, and then into the breadcrumb mixture. Repeat with the remaining chicken breasts.
- Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add chicken cutlets, without crowding the pan, to the heated oil. You may need to cook in two batches. Cook for 3 -4 minutes on the first side. Flip and continue cooking on the second side for 2 – 3 minutes more minutes until golden brown. Repeat until all chicken is cooked.
- Garnish with parsley and lemon.
