Instructions

Prepare three large shallow bowls: place the flour in the first, beat the eggs in the second, and mix bread crumbs, Parmesan, salt, pepper, and herbs in the third.
Season chicken with salt and pepper. Coat each chicken breast in flour, shaking off excess. Dip in eggs, allowing extra to drip off, then coat in the bread crumb mixture. Set aside on a plate after breading all chicken breasts.
Heat oil in a large sauté pan over medium heat. Cook chicken breasts for 2-3 minutes until golden brown, flip, and cook for another 2-3 minutes until fully cooked. Serve with lemon wedges.

Notes

For large chicken breasts, cut them in half crosswise or slice horizontally for thinner cutlets.
Breading can be prepared a day ahead. Store covered in the refrigerator until ready to cook.
Freezing breaded chicken for later use is possible; just ensure to thaw before cooking.
