Bread the Chicken
Set up a breading station: Place the flour in one shallow dish, beat the eggs in another, and combine the breadcrumbs and grated Parmesan cheese in a third dish. Dredge each chicken breast in the flour, shaking off the excess, dip into the beaten eggs, and finally coat with the breadcrumb mixture.
