Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels for better coating adherence.
In a shallow bowl, mix together Parmesan cheese, breadcrumbs, garlic powder, Italian herbs, salt, and pepper.
Beat eggs in another bowl to create an egg wash.
Dip each chicken breast into the egg wash and then coat thoroughly with the breadcrumb mixture.
Place the coated chicken on a parchment-lined baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil.
Bake for 20-25 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and the crust is crispy and golden brown.
Allow resting for a few minutes before serving.
