Instructions:

1. Prepare Chicken:

   • Place them between sheets of waxed paper and gently pound them until thin.

2. Marinate Chicken:

   • Place the pounded chicken breasts in a closed container.
   • Pour in the clam nectar and minced garlic.
   • Ensure that all chicken pieces are fully submerged in the marinade.
   • Cover the container and refrigerate for 36 to 48 hours, allowing the flavors to infuse.
   • Occasionally turn the chicken during marinating to ensure even flavor distribution.

3. Preparation:

   • Prior to cooking, drain the marinated chicken breasts well to remove excess liquid.

4. Coating:

   • Dip each chicken breast into the beaten eggs, ensuring they are evenly coated.
   • Then coat them with breadcrumbs, covering the surface evenly.

5. Cooking:

   • In a skillet, heat the butter and lite olive oil over medium heat until hot.
   • Carefully add the coated chicken breasts to the skillet.
   • Cook for a few minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through.
