- 2 cups panko breadcrumbs
- 2 tsp lemon pepper
- 1 tsp salt

Instructions
Bread and cook the chicken
- Halve the chicken breasts horizontally, creating two thin cutlets.
- In a shallow bowl, add the flour and season with salt and pepper. In a separate bowl beat the eggs and in another bowl combine the breadcrumbs, Parmesan, garlic powder, lemon pepper and salt.
- Coat the chicken first in the flour, then in the egg and finally in the breadcrumbs. For a thicker coating, repeat the egg and breadcrumb step.
- In a large pan set over medium-high heat heat a few centimeters/1 inch of vegetable oil.
- Fry the chicken for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown on both sides and cooked through.
- Remove and allow to drain on a wire rack set over a sheet pan.
Make the sauce
- Melt the butter in a pan then add the onion. Cook until soft and translucent.
- Add the garlic, basil and dried herbs (if using) and cook for another 30 seconds.
- Pour in the cream and allow to come to a simmer. Simmer for 5-7 minutes until the sauce covers the back of a spoon easily.
- Transfer sauce to a food processor or blender (or use an immersion blender) and blend until smooth.
- Pour the sauce back into the pan and add lemon juice, salt and pepper to taste. Bring to a simmer and add cooked pasta then serve with the crispy chicken.
