Cut each breast in half horizontally, making 4 pieces. Pound if thicker than 3/4 inch thick at the thickest point.
Place egg, garlic, pinch of salt and pepper in a bowl; whisk.
Place Parmesan cheese in a shallow bowl.
Dredge chicken in egg; place in cheese CUT SIDE DOWN; press, then turn. Coat with extra Parmesan cheese, press; shake off excess. Repeat with remaining chicken.
Melt butter and heat oil in a large non-stick skillet or well seasoned cast iron skillet over high heat. Place chicken in skillet. DO NOT MOVE chicken, otherwise the cheese will slide off surface before it sticks. It sticks once it turns crispy.
Press down lightly with a spatula. Lift a corner to take a peek; turn with tongs when deep golden brown, about 3 minutes.
Cook the second side for 3 minutes or until also deep golden brown and crispy, not moving until golden. Lightly press down with spatula. Don't cook longer than 6 minutes in total, or it will be dry.
4 servings.
