Bread the Chicken
Remove the chicken from the marinade and allow excess marinade to drip off. Dredge each chicken breast in flour, then dip in beaten eggs, and finally coat with the panko-Parmesan mixture, pressing to adhere.

Carefully place the breaded chicken breasts into the hot oil. Fry for 5-7 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F or 75°C).
