In a bowl, beat the eggs with 1 tbsp water.

On a second plate, combine the bread crumbs and parm.

10
Heat the butter and olive oil in a large skillet.

Cook the chicken for 3-4 minutes on one side, depending on thickness, then turn and do the same (3-4 minutes) on second side until no longer pink and nicely golden brown.
12
Toss the salad greens with enough vinaigrette to coat them, add more if you like.
13
Place chicken on dinner plate, then place a mound of salad over each chicken breast.
14
Shave some parmesan with a vegetable peeler over the greens and serve immediately.
