Combine Parmesan cheese and breadcrumbs in shallow plate. In another plate, combine beaten egg and water.

In a medium bowl, combine groud thyme, mozzarella cheese and chopped parsley.

Cut horizontal slices into the center of the chicken cutlets, creating small pockets in each. Stuff the chicken with the mozzarella parsley mixture.

Dredge the stuffed chicken in the egg bath, then in the Parmesan breadcrumb mixture. Set aside.

Heat a pan with remaining olive oil and butter on medium-high heat. Brown each side of chicken for 3 minutes.

Once golden brown on each side, finish cooking off chicken in the oven for 10-15 minutes.
