Prepare the Chicken
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°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. Place flour in the first dish, beaten eggs in the second, and a mixture of bread crumbs and grated Parmesan cheese in the third. Dip each chicken breast first in flour, then in the egg, and finally in the bread crumb mixture, ensuring they are well-coated.
