Melt 1 pound of unsalted butter in a 3–4 quart straight-sided pan over medium heat. Simmer for about 5 minutes until it foams and turns golden brown, stirring occasionally. Monitor closely to avoid burning.

In a shallow bowl, combine Italian seasoning mix with panko breadcrumbs. In another dish, season all-purpose flour with salt and black pepper. Beat eggs in a separate shallow dish. Coat each chicken breast in the flour, dip into the eggs, then coat with the seasoned breadcrumbs, pressing firmly to adhere.

Add breaded chicken breasts to the foaming golden butter. Cook each side for 5–6 minutes, until golden brown and fully cooked (internal temperature should reach 165°F / 74°C). For thicker chicken breasts, the total cook time will be approximately 12 minutes.

Transfer the cooked chicken to a wire rack placed over paper towels. Tent loosely with foil and let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
