Step 1
1. On a large plate season chicken with salt and pepper. Meanwhile prepare breading station with 3 large mixing bowls: 1 bowl with breadcrumbs, oregano, garlic powder and Parmesan mixed with a fork, another with eggs and 1 tablespoon water, beaten, and the third with flour. Coat each piece of chicken in flour and shake off excess, dip into egg and lastly coat in breadcrumb mixture. Repeat steps for remaining chicken and set aside on a plate.
