Dredge Chicken
Set up a breading station: In one bowl, place the all-purpose flour. In a second bowl, beat the eggs. In a third bowl, place the breadcrumbs mixed with the grated Parmesan cheese. Dip each chicken breast first in flour, then in the egg, and finally coat it with the breadcrumb mixture.
