Schnitzel:
Preheat the oven to 200 degrees.
Season the pounded chicken breasts evenly with garlic powder and 1/2 t. salt. Place the flour, eggs and breadcrumbs in 3 separate shallow dishes; season each dish with 1/2 t. salt.
Coat chicken first in the flour, shaking off any excess, followed by the egg and then breadcrumbs.
Preheat a large, rimmed skillet with 1/2 c. vegetable oil over medium heat. Using tongs, carefully place 2 breaded chicken pieces into the pan; fry until golden-brown, 3 - 4 minutes per side. Remove to a large rimmed baking sheet fitted with a cooling rack; repeat with the remaining oil and 2 remaining breaded chicken pieces. Keep the chicken warm the oven until ready to serve.
Pasta assembly:
Cook the egg noodles according to the package directions; drain; transfer to a large bowl; toss with melted butter; cover to keep warm; set aside.
In a food processor fitted with the blade attachment, add 1 cu. peas, chives, basil, garlic, lemon zest and juice, salt and pepper; pulse until finely chopped. While the food processor is running, slowly stream in olive oil; blend until incorporated into a smooth pesto.
In a large bowl, toss the pesto mixture with the warm noodles and remaining peas.
Serve immediately with the schnitzel, garnished with lemon wedges and chopped parsley.
