Instructions

Prepare three shallow bowls. Add flour to the first, beaten eggs to the second, and mix bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, salt, pepper, and herbs in the third.
Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Coat each breast in flour, dip in egg, and then in the bread crumb mixture. Set aside on a plate.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook the chicken breasts for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through.
Serve with lemon wedges.

Notes

Breading can be done a day in advance; refrigerate until ready to cook.
For larger breasts, cut them in half after pounding for smaller portions.
Freeze breaded chicken for up to 3 months; thaw before cooking.
