- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and black pepper to taste

For the Sauce:

Instructions
- Pound the chicken: Using a meat mallet or rolling pin, pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness. Season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
- Breading station: Set up three shallow bowls with flour, beaten eggs, and a mixture of panko breadcrumbs and Parmesan cheese. Dredge each chicken breast in flour, then egg, then breadcrumb mixture.

- Serve: Return chicken to the skillet or top with sauce. Garnish with parsley and serve.
Notes
