Method
Preparation of Chicken
- 1
Prepare the Chicken
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Flatten the chicken breasts to an even thickness using a meat mallet or rolling pin, then season both sides with salt and black pepper.

Coat the Chicken
Set up a breading station: Place the flour in one shallow dish, beat the eggs in a second dish, and combine the breadcrumbs and grated Parmesan cheese in a third dish. Dredge each chicken breast first in flour, shaking off excess, then dip in the beaten eggs, and finally coat with the breadcrumb and cheese mixture.

Fry the Chicken
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Once hot, add the breaded chicken breasts and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, until golden brown and cooked through. You may need to do this in batches.
