2 large chicken breasts, halved and pounded
Salt and pepper, to taste

Slice chicken breasts in half and pound to even thickness. Season with salt and pepper.
Dredge chicken in flour, then eggs, then panko-Parmesan mixture.
Heat oil and butter in a skillet over medium-high. Fry chicken 3–4 minutes per side until golden and cooked through.
In the same pan, melt butter. Sauté garlic 1–2 minutes. Add broth and reduce slightly.
Stir in cream. Simmer 3–4 minutes until thickened. Season to taste.
Serve chicken with garlic sauce spooned over top. Garnish with herbs.
Bake instead of fry for a lighter version.
Add red pepper flakes for heat.
