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: place flour in one shallow dish, beaten eggs in another, and mix bread crumbs with grated parmesan cheese in a third. Dredge each chicken breast in flour, shaking off excess, then dip into the eggs, and finally coat with the breadcrumb mixture.
