Instructions

2. Place chicken breasts between two layers of plastic wrap and pound to an even thickness of about 1/4 inch.

3. Season chicken with salt and pepper on both sides.

4. Set up three shallow bowls: one with the flour, one with the eggs (beaten), and one with the chopped parsley.

5. Dredge each chicken breast in the flour, shaking off any excess, then dip in the egg mixture, and finally coat in the parsley.
