Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper.
Set up dredging stations: flour in one dish, beaten eggs in another, and the cheese mixed with lemon zest in the third.
Dredge each chicken breast in flour, then dip into eggs, and coat with the cheese mixture.
In a large ovenproof skillet, heat olive oil and butter over medium-high heat. Brown the chicken for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden.
Pour chicken broth and lemon juice over the browned chicken.
Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes until cooked through.
Let rest before serving, garnished with parsley and lemon slices.
