Use a sharp knife to cut the chicken breasts in half lengthwise.

Whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, garlic cloves, dried oregano and salt.
Pour marinade over the chicken breasts and toss to coat. Allow to marinate for at least 30 minutes.
Whisk together eggs in a bowl. In another bowl combine flour, panko, oregano, lemon zest and salt.
Dip marinated chicken into eggs, let excess drip off. Dredge in breadcrumb mixture. Repeat until all chicken is coated.
Heat about 1/2 cup oil in a large skillet over medium heat (You want to coat the bottom of the skillet with about 1/4 inch of oil). Fry chicken cutlets, in batches, until golden brown and cooked through. 6 - 7 minutes per side.
Sprinkle with salt, parsley for garnish, slice and serve.
