Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375℉ (190℃). Coat the bottom of a 9 x 13 pan (or baking sheet) with olive oil.
Combine dry ingredients for coating, including flour, breadcrumbs or panko, Parmesan cheese, and seasoning (salt, pepper, thyme, basil, oregano). Beat the eggs in a dish large enough to dip chicken pieces into, typically a small to medium-sized bowl. Pat chicken pieces dry.
Coat the chicken in the beaten eggs, then transfer to the bowl of the topping mixture and coat evenly. Repeat for each piece of chicken, placing them in the oiled pan once coated.
Bake at 375℉ (190℃) for 45-55 minutes, depending on the size of the chicken pieces.
