Chicken Marinade Ingredients

3 - 4 chicken breasts
1/4 cup olive oil
1 tablespoon lemon juice
3 garlic cloves minced
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon salt

Breading Ingredients:

1 cup panko bread crumbs
1/4 cup all purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon lemon zest
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 eggs
1/2 cup oil for frying
parsley optional, for garnish

Instructions

Use a sharp knife to cut the chicken breasts in half lengthwise.
Place halves into a resealable plastic bag. Use a meat tenderizer to pound chicken breast cutlets to an even thickness, about 1/4 inch thick.
Whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, garlic cloves, dried oregano and salt.
Pour marinade over the chicken breasts and toss to coat. Allow to marinate for at least 30 minutes.
Whisk together eggs in a bowl. In another bowl combine flour, panko, oregano, lemon zest and salt.
Dip marinated chicken into eggs, let excess drip off. Dredge in breadcrumb mixture. Repeat until all chicken is coated.
Heat about 1/2 cup oil in a large skillet over medium heat (You want to coat the bottom of the skillet with about 1/4 inch of oil). Fry chicken cutlets, in batches, until golden brown and cooked through. 6 - 7 minutes per side.
Sprinkle with salt, parsley for garnish, slice and serve.
