Breading is one of the finest and most versatile cooking techniques. It's easy and quick, and foods properly breaded and cooked are particularly tempting. Pair this dish with a quick ratatouille, a white or red wine (try a lightly chilled Beaujolais), a tossed green salad, and a sherbet or ice for dessert.

Steps:
- Cut away and discard any white membranes or traces of fat from the breast halves. Sprinkle each with salt and pepper.
- Put the flour in a shallow dish. Dip the breasts in the flour. Coat well, and shake off excess.
- Combine the egg with water, salt and pepper in another shallow dish, and beat to blend.
- Combine the bread crumbs with Parmesan cheese in a third dish, and blend.
- Dip the breast halves in the egg mixture, coating thoroughly. Drain off excess. Dip the pieces in the bread-crumb mixture, also coating thoroughly. Pat the pieces lightly with the flat side of a large knife to make the crumbs adhere.
- Heat the oil, preferably in a nonstick skillet, and add the breasts. Cook over moderately high heat until golden brown on one side, 3 to 4 minutes. Turn and cook 3 to 4 minutes or until golden brown on the second side.
- Transfer the chicken to a warm platter; pour the fat from the skillet.
- Add the butter to the skillet, and cook until bubbling. Add the tarragon and lemon juice; blend. Pour the sauce over the chicken, and serve immediately.
