  3. Dredge each cutlet in flour, dip in eggs, and then coat with the breadcrumb-Parmesan mixture.
  4. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat and pan-fry the cutlets for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown.
  5. In the same skillet, reduce heat and add butter, then add garlic and sauté until fragrant.

  7. Return chicken to the skillet, spoon sauce over, and garnish with fresh herbs before serving.
