2. In a square prep bowls, put your beaten eggs, milk or cream, mayonnaise, Parmesan cheese, 1/2 of the chopped fresh basil, black pepper, and salt and mix this well with a fork.

 
3. In another square bowl, put your bread crumbs, flour, 1/4 cup of grated Parmesan cheese, crushed red pepper, and garlic powder. Mix this well.

 
4. Peel and thinly slice each clove of garlic.
5. Start heating the skillet. Add all your sliced garlic.
6. Take each fillet of chicken, dip it in the bread crumb mix first, then into the egg mixture, then back into the crumb mixture again. Put right into the hot oil.

7. As soon as the oil is hot enough to sizzle, lower the temperature, so it will not dark brown the chicken. You only want golden brown. Turn after 1 minute.
8. Have ready a glass casserole dish lined with paper towels. When the chicken is browned on both sides, take out of the pan, and put in the casserole dish.
9. When all pieces of chicken are cooked and in the casserole dish, take the lemon, slice it up into 8 thin slices. Squeeze each sliced over the top and then lay it on the chicken. This flavor will be absorbed into the crispy breading and give it a zing of terrific flavor.

 
10. Take the casserole and put it in the oven for about 15 minutes at 350 degrees F. Enjoy! You will find this moist and flavorful. :)
