Add the chicken broth and bring to a boil. Cover and reduce the heat to low and cook for 12 to 15 minutes, or until all of the broth has been absorbed. Remove from heat and set aside, covered, for 5 minutes.
• For the chicken: Place the chicken between two sheets of wax or parchment paper and, using a meat mallet, rolling pin or a small skillet, lightly and evenly pound until 3/4-to 1-centimeter (generous 1/4-inch to 1/2-inch) thick, then cut into two equal portions and set aside. If making the dish for four, continue with a second chicken breast.
• In a shallow dish, beat together the egg, mayonnaise, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt and pepper. In a separate shallow dish, combine the ground Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese and breadcrumbs. Working with one piece of chicken at a time, dip the chicken into the egg mixture to coat, then toss in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing firmly to adhere the coating to the chicken.
