Chicken Preparation
- 1
Prepare the Chicken
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Season the chicken breasts on both sides with salt and black pepper.

Dredging Station
Set up a dredging station by placing the flour in a shallow dish, beaten eggs in another shallow dish, and breadcrumbs mixed with grated Parmesan cheese in a third shallow dish.

Bread the Chicken
Dip each chicken breast first into the flour, coating it thoroughly. Shake off any excess flour, then dip it into the beaten eggs, allowing any excess to drip off, and finally coat it with the breadcrumb and Parmesan mixture.

Fry the Chicken
In a large skillet, heat enough oil over medium heat to cover the bottom of the pan. Once hot, add the breaded chicken breasts and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Transfer to a baking dish.
