- In the first shallow dish, place flour seasoned with salt and pepper.
- In the second dish, place beaten eggs.
- In the third dish, combine Panko breadcrumbs, garlic powder, and paprika.
- Coat each chicken breast in flour, shaking off excess.
- Dip into the beaten eggs, allowing excess to drip off.
- Press into the breadcrumb mixture until fully coated.
- Place chicken on a plate and let it rest for 30 minutes to help the coating adhere.

- Serve with herbed sauce drizzled on top or on the side.
