Ingredients:
1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 egg beaten
1 cup packaged bread crumbs
1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. pepper
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1 lb linguine
1/2 cup (1 stick) butter
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 tbs. lemon juice
1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. pepper
1/4 cup chopped parsley
2 tbs. butter, softened
Lemon wedges

Instructions:
1. Cut chicken into 1/2 -inch pieces. Dip chicken, a few pieces at a time in beaten egg, then in bread crumbs which have been mixed with the 1/2 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp pepper. Spread coated pieces on a platter; repeat with remainder. This can be done several hours ahead and refrigerated.

2. Heat oil in a large skillet. Add 1/2 of the chicken; saute 30 seconds or just until crumbs are golden brown. Remove chicken with a slotted spoon; repeat with remainder. Discard oil in skillet; wipe out.

3. Cook pasta. While pasta is cooking, melt the 1/2 cup butter in the skillet. Add garlic; cook 1 minute. Add chicken, lemon juice, salt and pepper; toss to coat chicken with sauce. Do not allow chicken to cook further.

4. Drain pasta; toss with remaining 2 Tbsp butter; spoon onto heated platter, spoon chicken and sauce over. Sprinkle with parsley, serve with lemon wedges.
