Pat the chicken breast dry with paper towels then slice lengthwise and pound to an even thickness. Whisk the egg, 1 tsp minced garlic, oregano, salt and pepper together. In another bowl, mix the parmesan, flour and cornstarch together. Dip the chicken in egg mixture then dredge in the parmesan mix. Heat olive oil in a skillet to medium high. Cook chicken 4-5 minutes per side to an internal temperature of 165°F. Lower the heat if the chicken is browning too quickly. In a saucepan melt the butter. Add the red pepper and sauté 3-4 minutes then add 1 tsp minced garlic for 1 minute. Add the chicken broth, lemon juice, pepper and lemon zest. Heat for 2 minutes then pour over the chicken. Garnish with lemon slices.
