Cut two large chicken breast the lengthwise. Season with salt and pepper. Set up your workstation, one bowl for the flour, one bowl for the egg, and a bowl for the panko and Parmesan mixture.
Beat the egg with two tablespoons of water. Mix the panko, shredded Parmesan cheese, and the basil together.
Dredge the chicken in flour. Dip in the beaten egg. Coat the chicken with the panko mixture
Heat a skillet with olive oil, about 2-3 tablespoons or so the bottom of the skillet is coated. Add more oil as needed. Fry each chicken piece for 5 to 6 minutes on both sides or until they are nicely browned and the inside is no longer pink.
Serve immediately. Serve with your favorite dipping sauce or without. Either way is yummy.
