Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.

  3. In a second shallow bowl, whisk the eggs. In a third shallow bowl, place the flour.
    2 large eggs, 0.25 cup all-purpose flour
  4. Dredge each piece of chicken in the flour, shaking off any excess. Then, dip the floured chicken into the beaten eggs, ensuring it's fully coated. Finally, press the chicken pieces into the Parmesan-breadcrumb mixture, coating all sides evenly.
