Chicken Preparation

Prepare the Chicken
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the chicken breasts between two pieces of plastic wrap and pound them to an even thickness of about 1/2 inch.

Breading Station
Set up a breading station with three shallow dishes: one with flour mixed with salt and pepper, one with beaten eggs, and one with a mixture of breadcrumbs and grated Parmesan cheese.

Bread the Chicken
Dredge each chicken breast in the flour, shaking off excess. Then dip it into the egg, allowing excess to drip off, and finally coat it in the breadcrumb mixture. Ensure both sides are well-coated.

Fry the Chicken
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Once hot, add the breaded chicken breasts and cook for about 4-5 minutes per side, until golden brown. Transfer to a baking dish.
