    • Place the chicken pieces between plastic wrap or in a zip-top bag and gently pound to an even thickness of about 1/2 inch.

    • Set up a breading station:

      • In one shallow dish, place the flour.

      • In another dish, place the beaten eggs.

      • In a third dish, place the panko breadcrumbs.

    • Dredge each piece of chicken in flour, shaking off excess, then dip in beaten eggs, and finally coat with panko breadcrumbs. Set aside on a plate.

  • Cook the Chicken:

    • In a large skillet, heat the butter and olive oil over medium-high heat until melted and hot.

    • Add the breaded chicken pieces and cook for about 3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through.

    • Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

  • Prepare the Garlic Butter Sauce:

    • In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat.

    • Add the minced shallots and garlic, and sauté for about 2 minutes until softened and fragrant.

    • Pour in the white wine, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet.

    • Let the wine reduce by half, about 2-3 minutes.

    • Stir in the heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer.

    • Add the lemon juice and chopped parsley.

    • Season with salt and white pepper to taste.Keyingredient
