Place each chicken breast between two sheets of plastic wrap and pound them to an even thickness of about 1/2 inch using a meat mallet or rolling pin.
In a shallow dish, mix together the flour, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
In another shallow dish, beat the eggs and mix with milk.
In a third dish, combine panko breadcrumbs and grated Parmesan cheese.
Dip each chicken breast in the flour mixture, coating it completely, and shake off the excess.
Next, dip it in the egg mixture, making sure it is fully covered.
Finally, coat it with the breadcrumb mixture, pressing lightly to ensure the breadcrumbs stick.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Place the breaded chicken cutlets in the skillet without overcrowding and cook for about 6-8 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Remove the chicken cutlets from the skillet and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess oil.
Serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side for squeezing over the top.
