I included two pictures.  The top picture was last night using thinner chicken steaks and the bottom picture is an older one using thicker steaks.  Both, are great with this recipe. I’ve update the recipe to make a crisper coating.
CHICKEN FRIED CHICKEN
2 large boneless chicken breasts
1 cup buttermilk
1/2 cup Wondra
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon pepper
2 eggs
1/2 cup Panko crumbs
2-4 tablespoons butter (enough to keep chicken from burning~add as necessary)

• Rinse and pat dry the chicken breasts.
• In a shallow glass pan, pour buttermilk over chicken 1-2 hours prior to cooking.
• Make sure to coat chicken well and turn at least once during soaking.
• Drain, but do NOT rinse the buttermilk off.
• In a medium sized fry pan melt the butter over medium heat. As butter melts and begins to very slightly sizzle, prepare breasts.
• In a shallow pan mix together the flour, salt and pepper.
• In another shallow pan whisk eggs until well blended.
• In another shallow pan add Panko crumbs.
• One at a time, dredge each chicken breast in flour mixture, then egg mixture and then Panko crumbs.
• Add to sizzling butter.
• Cook 4-6 minutes each side depending on plumpness.
• Keep chicken warm.

PEPPERED GRAVY
3 tablespoons butter
5 tablespoons Wondra flour
1 1/4 cups whole milk
3/4 cup whipping cream
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon Black pepper + (to taste)

• Melt butter into bottom of pan you just cooked the chicken in.
• Scrape up any of the chicken pieces and mix into new butter.
• Add flour slowly, stirring until absorbed by butter and golden brown.
• Slowly add first the milk and then the cream.
• Stir constantly until thickens.
• If necessary sprinkle in more Wondra until desired thickness is reached.
• Serve over chicken and mashed potatoes.
