Prepare the Garlic Bread: Preheat the broiler to high. Blend softened butter, parsley, minced garlic, and garlic powder until smooth. Spread over sliced baguette and broil for about 2-3 minutes until golden.

Bread the Chicken: Dredge chicken in egg wash, then in panko mixture. Let rest for 5 minutes.
Fry the Chicken: Heat oil in a skillet. Fry chicken for 4-5 minutes per side until golden and cooked through. Drain on paper towels.
