The breading in which the meat is coated has a cheesy and herbal flavour and meat itself is crunchy on the outside and has a juicy and soft inside.

How to make chicken in parmesan.
Cut the cleaned, washed and dried chicken breasts in half lengthwise. Place the meat on a kitchen board, cover with cling film and pound it on both sides with a meat mallet. Pour flour, pepper, salt and Italian herbs onto a plate. Mix it. Next, coat each piece of meat in flour and spices, then pour the beaten eggs with a fork into the remaining flour and mix it. Put the breadcrumbs and finely grated parmesan cheese onto a separate plate and mix it.
Dip the floured meat in eggs combined with flour, then in breadcrumbs combined with parmesan cheese. Put the ghee butter into a pan, melt it and heat it up. Place the breaded poultry meat in the hot butter and fry it over a medium heat for about 6-7 minutes, on both sides. Remove the fried meat to a plate lined with a paper towel. Serve the chicken in parmesan, additionally sprinkled with grated parmesan and drizzled with lemon juice.
Good to know how to make chicken in parmesan.
If you use the entire amount of flour when coating the meat, in the next step, coat the meat only in egg bath.
The ghee or clarified butter can be replaced with oil or olive oil, although in my opinion chicken fried in butter tastes best.
