I like Panko as bread crumbs, they are the light, fluffy, Japanese bread crumbs that are fantastic.

I'd first dip the chicken into buttermilk, then lightly dredge it in flour, then into an egg wash (2 eggs + 2 tbs milk) then into the Panko bread crumbs, which have been seasoned with salt and pepper.

This method is great for baking, and I'd put the chicken onto a rack so they don't sit in the grease that comes out of the chicken.

Pan Frying or just casual chicken cutlets.

Into a large ziplock back, throw some flour, garlic, oregano, basil, pepper (seasonings of your choice actually -- I also like lemon pepper or cumin and chili powder) Throw the chicken breasts into the bag and seal. Shake like crazy.

Saute the breasts in equal parts olive oil and butter til golden brown.
