Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Wash chicken and pat dry with paper towels.
In a medium bowl, beat together butter, parsley, Italian seasoning, garlic and lemon juice; season generously with salt and pepper.
Roll butter into a log, then wrap tightly in plastic wrap; refrigerate until chilled.
Place chicken breasts between 2 sheets of plastic wrap or parchment paper; pound until they’re 1/4 inch thick.
Place a cube of butter in the center of each flattened chicken breast; fold in the sides so there’s no open space where butter could escape. (Optional: use a moistened toothpick to seal.)
Heat 2-3 inches vegetable oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat until water sizzles when a few water droplets are sprinkled on it.
Set up your assembly line with flour in one bowl, beaten eggs in a second, and Panko/Parmesan in a third.
Dredge each chicken pocket in flour, shake off excess, then dip completely in egg wash. Shake off excess then press chicken firmly (on all sides) in Panko/Parmesan mixture.
Transfer coated chicken carefully to hot oil; cook on all sides until coating is golden brown. Remove to a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Repeat with remaining chicken breasts; transfer all to a baking dish.
Bake 15-18 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through.
Remove from oven. Serve hot with mashed potatoes and vegetables, if desired.
