Add the zest of 1 lemon and half of your herbs to your bread crumbs, saving the rest for the lemon sauce later.

Beat an egg yolk with 1 tablespoon of water.

Place chicken tenders between 2 pieces of plastic wrap and beat them with the small groove side of a mallet until they are thin, but not ripped.

Dip the chicken in the egg-wash mixture, and then in the bread crumb mixture, until coated.

Set the breaded chicken aside.

In the sauté pan, preheat 2 tablespoons of butter on medium heat.

Place the breaded chicken in the pan.

Cook the chicken, approximately 2–3 minutes on each side.

Remove the chicken, and place it on a separate baking sheet pan to rest.

In the same sauté pan you cooked the chicken in, add the remaining herbs and lemon juice, and then heat until simmering.

Turn off heat and add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter to the sauce, and stir vigorously.

Slice the chicken.

Place sliced chicken on a plate, pour the sauce over the top, and add the garnishes.
