Method
Preparation
- 1
Prepare the Chicken
Begin by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). Meanwhile, take the chicken breasts and gently pound them to an even thickness. This ensures they cook evenly.

Season the Chicken
Sprinkle both sides of the chicken breasts with salt and pepper to taste. This will enhance the flavor of the chicken.

Set Up Breading Station
In three separate bowls, place the all-purpose flour in the first one, beat the eggs in the second, and combine the breadcrumbs with grated Parmesan cheese in the third.

Bread the Chicken
Dredge each chicken breast in flour, shaking off excess. Dip it into the beaten eggs, allowing any excess to drip off, then coat it with the breadcrumb and cheese mixture, pressing lightly to adhere.

Heat the Oil
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat until shimmering.

Add the breaded chicken breasts to the skillet. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken and place on a paper towel to drain excess oil.
