Slice the chicken breasts in half lengthwise to create very thin cutlets. Place the chicken in a large Ziploc bag, pour in the buttermilk, seal, and refrigerate for 1 hour to marinate.
Set up a breading station using three shallow dishes. In the first dish, mix the flour, 1 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp pepper, and garlic powder. In the second dish, whisk the eggs with 2 tablespoons of water. In the third dish, combine the breadcrumbs with the remaining 1 tsp salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Place an empty plate at the end of the assembly line for the breaded chicken.
Remove the chicken from the marinade one piece at a time. Dredge each piece in the flour mixture, then dip into the egg mixture, and finally coat with the breadcrumb mixture. Place on the prepared plate and repeat with the remaining chicken.
Heat 3 tablespoons oil and 3 tablespoons butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the breaded chicken and cook for 4-5 minutes per side, or until golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees F.
While the chicken cooks, prepare the dressing by whisking together the lemon juice and 1/4 cup oil. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper, then set aside.
Plate the chicken and top each serving with a generous handful of arugula. Finish with shaved parmesan and a drizzle of the lemon dressing. Serve immediately and enjoy!
