Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease a baking sheet.
Create the Breading Stations: In a shallow dish, combine flour, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. In a second shallow dish, place the beaten eggs. In a third shallow dish, mix panko breadcrumbs with Parmesan cheese.
1/2 cup all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, 2 large eggs, 1 cup panko breadcrumbs, 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Bread the Chicken: Dredge each chicken breast in the flour mixture, then dip in the egg, and finally coat thoroughly with the panko mixture.
