Chicken Preparation

Prepare the Chicken
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Season the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper on both sides.

Bread the Chicken
Set up a breading station with three shallow dishes: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with grated Parmesan cheese. Dredge each chicken breast in flour, dip in egg, and then coat with Parmesan cheese.

Cook the Chicken
Heat a large oven-safe skillet over medium heat with a tablespoon of olive oil. Add the breaded chicken breasts and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through.
