directions: 'Using a meat mallet, pound chicken breasts between 2 pieces of plastic
  wrap or waxed paper until they are ¼” thick.


  Combine flour, 1 t. salt, and pepper on a large plate.  Put eggs on a separate
  plate.  On a third plate, combine bread crumbs, zest from 1 lemon (2 t.), 1 t.
  salt, cheese, pine nuts, and basil.  Sprinkle chicken with remaining ½ t. salt.  Coat
  both sides in flour, then eggs (allowing excess to drip off), then bread crumb
  mixture, pressing mixture in slightly.


  In a large skillet over a medium flame, heat 1 T. butter and 1 T. olive oil.  When
  pan is hot, add 1 to 2 chicken breasts; cook 2-3 min. on each side, until golden
  and cooked through.  Remove and keep warm on a plate tented with foil.  Add more
  butter and oil to skillet with each batch.  Cut remaining unpeeled lemon into
  large wedges.  Squeeze 2 wedges over chicken before serving and place remaining
  wedges on platter with chicken.'
