    Lightly beat the egg and water in another shallow wide bowl. In the last shallow wide bowl add the flour. Add the flour to a shallow wide bowl.
  • Step 4
    Salt and pepper chicken breasts. Dredge the chicken in the flour. Dip in the beaten egg, turning over to coat the chicken. Dredge the chicken breasts in the bread crumb and Parmesan mixture. Let the breaded chicken breasts sit for about 10 minutes.

    Melt the butter and heat the olive oil in a large oven-proof skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the chicken breasts until golden brown on both sides. Place the skillet in the oven for 5 minutes.
