Preparing the chicken: Slice the chicken breast into six thin cutlets, wash them well and pat dry with a paper towel.
Marinating the chicken breast: In a ziplock bag, mix yoghurt and lemon juice, then add the chicken (make sure to coat the chicken well with the yoghurt mixture), seal the bag and keep in the fridge overnight.
Crack the eggs in a small bowl and whisk well using a fork
On a plate, mix parmesan, breadcrumbs, salt, pepper, garlic powder and dried parsley.
Now, remove the chicken from the yoghurt, shaking off any excess yoghurt and dip in the eggs, then into the parmesan mixture, patting the mixture on the chicken, then place on a plate, repeat with the other chicken cutlets.
Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-low heat and add the chicken breast (you can cook them in two batches if you like).
Fry the chicken for 3 minutes on each side until they are fully cooked and become golden brown and crispy. Try not to move the chicken while cooking; otherwise, the parmesan cheese may slide off the surface.
Turn off the heat and serve immediately.

Cut the chicken thin so that it will cook faster!
