# Ingredients:

01 - 1.5 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breast meat.
02 - 4 tablespoons olive oil.
03 - 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (optional).
04 - 1 cup all-purpose flour.
05 - 1 teaspoon garlic powder.

07 - 2 cups Panko bread crumbs.
08 - 1/2 cup fresh grated Parmesan cheese.
09 - 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder.
10 - Salt.
11 - Black pepper.

# Instructions:

01 - Slice each chicken breast in half width-wise for even thickness. Lightly pound using meat tenderizer if needed.
02 - Prepare three bowls: First with flour, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Second with beaten eggs, salt, and pepper. Third with Panko, Parmesan, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
03 - Coat each piece in flour mixture, then egg mixture, then breadcrumb mixture. Pat gently to ensure coating sticks well.

# Notes:

01 - Can be made gluten-free using gluten-free flour and breadcrumbs.
