Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and prepare the chicken breasts by gently pounding them to an even thickness of about ½ inch.
  2. In a shallow bowl, mix together all-purpose flour, salt, black pepper, and dried oregano. In a second bowl, beat the eggs until smooth. In a third bowl, combine Italian-style breadcrumbs with grated Parmesan cheese.
  3. Dredge each chicken breast in the flour mixture, dip into the beaten eggs, and then coat with the breadcrumb and Parmesan mixture.
  4. Heat a generous amount of olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat.
  5. Sear the coated chicken breasts for about 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown.
  6. Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
  7. While the chicken bakes, prepare the garlic butter sauce by melting butter in a saucepan over medium heat, then adding minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute.
  8. Stir in chicken broth and fresh lemon juice, simmer for 3-4 minutes until slightly thickened. Adjust seasoning if needed.
  9. Once chicken is done, serve on a platter, pour the garlic butter sauce over, and garnish with chopped parsley.
