 Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
  6                    Chicken breasts - halves,
                       -boneless, skinless
  5       tb           Lemon juice - fresh
  2                    Eggs
  1 1/4   c            Breadcrumbs - dry
    1/2   c            Parmesan -grated
  2       ts           Lemon peel- grated
    1/2                Stick butter - (4
                       -tablespoons)
                       Lemon wedges

 Pound each chicken piece to thickness of 1/2 inch between sheets of waxed
 paper.  Place chicken in baking dish.  Pour 4 tablespoons lemon juice over
 chicken and turn to coat.  Let stand 10 minutes. Beat eggs with remaining 1
 tablespoon lemon juice in medium bowl. Combine breadcrumbs, Parmesan and
 lemon peel in shallow dish.  Dip 1 chicken breast into egg mixture. Dip
 into breadcrumbs to coat; gently shake off excess. Season with salt and
 pepper.  Repeat with remaining chicken, egg mixture and breadcrumbs. [Note
 from me:  Let breaded chicken sit on wax paper for at least 10 minutes and
 the coating will not fall off the meat when sauteeing.]

 Melt 2 tablespoons butter in heavy large skillet over medium-high heat. Add
 1/3 of chicken to skillet and saute until golden brown and cooked through,
 about 2 minutes per side.  Transfer to platter and keep warm. Repeat with
 remaining chicken in 2 more batches, adding 1 tablespoon butter with each
 batch.  Garnish platter with lemon wedges and serve.
