Prepare the Chicken
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Season the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper on both sides.

Dredge the Chicken
Set up a dredging station with three shallow bowls: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with a mixture of bread crumbs and grated Parmesan cheese. Dip each chicken breast first in the flour, then in the egg, and finally coat with the bread crumb mixture.

Pan-Fry the Chicken
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the breaded chicken breasts and cook for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and place them on a paper towel to drain excess oil.

Assemble the Dish
