Ingredients (serves 4):

- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder
- 2 teaspoons paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 eggs, beaten
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a shallow dish, mix together the flour, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
3. In another shallow dish, whisk together the eggs and milk.
4. In a third shallow dish, mix together the panko breadcrumbs and Parmesan cheese.
5. Dip each chicken breast into the flour mixture, shaking off any excess. Then dip it into the egg mixture, and finally into the breadcrumb mixture, pressing the breadcrumbs onto the chicken to make sure they stick.
6. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, until golden brown.
7. Transfer the chicken to the prepared baking sheet and bake for 10-12 minutes, until cooked through.
8. While the chicken is baking, whisk together the lemon juice, honey, and Dijon mustard in a small bowl.
9. Drizzle the lemon sauce over the chicken and sprinkle with chopped parsley before serving.
