Ingredients:
- 2 large chicken breasts (or 4 small fillets)

Dip chicken in egg mixture, then press into the Parmesan breadcrumb mix until fully coated. - Cook (choose one method):

If you want, I can also make a crispy restaurant-style version, an air fryer method, or a creamy garlic Parmesan sauce to go with it 😋
