4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 cup seasoned flour (1 cup flour, 1 tsp salt, 1 tsp pepper)
5 cloves garlic, finely minced
1 Tbsp parsley flakes or 1/4 cup fresh
2 Tbsp lemon juice
3 eggs
1/3 cup finely grated Parmesan cheese
1 Tbsp olive oil
5 Tbsp butter

Steps:

-Place the seasoned flour in a large gallon-sized bag. Set aside. In a shallow pie plate, beat the eggs until mixed and add the Parmesan cheese. Whisk to combine. Set aside. -In a large skillet, melt one tablespoon butter and one tablespoon olive oil over medium heat. Let it begin to heat and sizzle while you prepare the chicken, don't let the butter burn. -Put the chicken breasts in the bag with the seasoned flour, close the bag and shake to coat the chicken in the flour. One by one, take the chicken out of the bag and dip into the egg/Parmesan mixture. Place the chicken carefully in the skillet. Repeat with the other chicken breasts. Let the chicken cook on the first side, without moving or flipping the chicken, for 1-2 minutes until a nice, golden crust has formed. Carefully, flip the chicken and let it continue to cook for 1-2 minutes on the other side. -Remove the chicken to a 9x13 pan. Set aside while making the sauce. -In the same skillet, melt the remaining four tablespoons butter. Add the minced garlic, lemon juice, and parsley. Simmer the sauce for 1-2 minutes, stirring and scraping up any browned bits on the bottom. -Pour the sauce evenly over the chicken breasts and bake at 350 degrees for 35 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through. Serve over noodles, rice, or potatoes.
