In another small bowl beat the eggs and the milk together.
Dip the chicken in the egg mixture.

Sauté the chicken in 2 Tbls butter and 1 Tbls oil until lightly browned, about 3 minutes on each side.
Squeeze the lemon juice all over the top of the chicken while frying. Be careful because the oil will slightly splatter.

In a large frying pan sauté the onions, garlic and mushrooms for 3 minutes in the remaining butter and oil.
Add the cream, lemon zest and basil and simmer for around 15 to twenty minutes until cream is bubbly and thick.
Add the steamed broccoli to heat through for 2 minutes.
Season with the remaining salt and pepper.

Plate the lemon chicken scaloppini and spoon over the broccoli sauce and garnish with parsley.
