- Dredge each chicken piece in flour, dip in egg, then coat with panko bread crumbs.
- Heat butter and oil in a skillet over medium-high heat, fry chicken for 3-5 minutes on each side until golden.
- In the same skillet, add garlic, sauté for 1 minute, then add chicken broth and simmer until reduced by half.
- Stir in lemon juice, capers, and remaining butter; return chicken to skillet and simmer for 2 minutes.
- Garnish with fresh lemon slices and parsley before serving.

Notes
Ensure chicken is pounded to a uniform thickness for even cooking. Use fresh ingredients for the best flavor.
