Step 1: Prepare the Chicken Breasts

1. Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels and season them with salt and black pepper.

Step 2: Set Up the  Breading Station 2. Create a  breading station with three shallow dishes – one with all-purpose flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with a mixture of breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, dried oregano, and dried basil.

Step 3:  Bread the Chicken 3. Dredge each chicken breast in the flour, ensuring even coverage. Dip it into the beaten eggs, allowing excess to drip off, and coat it thoroughly in the breadcrumb-Parmesan mixture.

Step 4: Pan-Fry to Golden Perfection 4. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Pan-fry the breaded chicken breasts until golden brown and cooked through, approximately 5-7 minutes per side.

Step 5: Drain and Garnish 5. Place the cooked chicken on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a burst of color and freshness.

Step 6: Serve with Zest 6. Serve the  Parmesan Crusted Chicken hot, accompanied by lemon wedges for a zesty touch. This dish pairs exceptionally well with a side of roasted vegetables or a crisp salad.
