- 3 tbsp olive oil

Instructions
- Prepare the Chicken: Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Dredge each piece in flour, dip in beaten eggs, and coat with a mixture of breadcrumbs and grated Parmesan cheese.

- Combine: Return the chicken to the skillet, spoon the sauce over the chicken, and garnish with fresh parsley.
- Serve: Serve hot with the creamy Parmesan mushroom sauce.
