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

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.

Coat the Chicken
Dredge each chicken breast in flour, shaking off excess, then dip into beaten eggs, and finally coat with the breadcrumb-Parmesan mixture. Press the breadcrumbs onto the chicken for an even coating.
