Dipping and Crusting Chicken
Pat crumbs onto both sides of the chicken breasts - it's okay if some crumbs fall off. Rest at room temperature on a rack for 20 - 30 minutes.

Preheat oven to 450°.
Prepare chicken breasts. Cut in half lengthwise, then pound between plastic until 1/2" thick.
Whisk egg whites, cornstarch, and lemon juice in a shallow dish for the dipping mixture; set aside.
Combine ingredients for crusting mixture in a wide, shallow dish. Crust prepared chicken by dipping both sides first in the dipping mixture, then in the crusting mixture. Transfer the crusted chicken to a rack set over a baking sheet. Air-dry chicken 20 - 30 minutes to help set the crumbs.
Saute the chicken in a large, nonstick, ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Cook until golden and crisp on one side. Flip the chicken, then transfer pan to preheated oven to finish cooking, 8 - 10 minutes.

Sauteing
Saute chicken until golden, about 3 mintues. Carefully flip the chicken (use your hand to help guide it). Then transfer the pan to the oven.
