Start with 4 chicken breasts, ensuring they are about 1/4 inch thick.

If chicken breasts are thick, place them in a plastic bag and use a rolling pin to even them out.

Put on food-grade gloves to avoid cross-contamination.

Clean the counter after handling raw chicken.

Prepare a breading station with 2 bowls: one for flour, one for beaten eggs, and one for breadcrumbs mixed with dried herbs and Parmesan cheese.

Dip each chicken breast in flour, shaking off excess, then into the eggs, and finally into the breadcrumb mixture.

Use gloves to avoid getting fingers messy with breadcrumbs.

If desired, you can place breadcrumbs in a bag and shake to coat chicken.

Heat olive oil in a gas land double induction burner on medium heat.

Lightly fry the breaded chicken breasts for 2-3 minutes on each side until the breadcrumbs are crunchy, without cooking the chicken all the way through.

If you prefer not to fry, you can spray or drizzle olive oil on the chicken and skip this step.
