Steps:
- Set up three large shallow bowls in an assembly line. Put the flour in the first bowl; beat the eggs in the second bowl; and mix the bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, salt, pepper, and chopped fresh herbs in the third bowl.
- Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Dredge the first chicken breast in the flour and shake off the excess until just a light coating remains. Next, dip the chicken in the egg mixture and turn to coat evenly, letting any excess egg drip off. Finally, dredge the chicken in the bread crumb mixture, turning a few times to coat well. Set breaded chicken on a plate and repeat until all of the chicken breasts are breaded.
- Heat the oil in a large sauté pan over medium heat. When the oil is hot, add the chicken breasts to the pan and cook for 2 to 3 minutes until the first side is golden brown. Flip and continue cooking until done, 2 to 3 minutes longer. Serve immediately with lemon wedges.
- Note: If chicken breasts are large (8 or more ounces), it's best to cut them in half once they are pounded out. Alternatively, you can cut them in half horizontally before pounding.

THE BEST ROASTED CHICKEN
This is the best chicken I have ever made. My husband liked this so much that, because I had leftover potatoes, gravy, and cornbread stuffing, I had to make another chicken.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
- Mix butter, garlic, thyme, rosemary, lemon zest, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper together in a bowl.

BEST ROASTED CHICKEN YOU'LL EVER HAVE!!
This chicken has the crispiest skin, the most wonderful aroma, and the juciest meat. And, I love the simplicity of it. My friend from Lafayette, LA heard a chef talk on the radio about how to prepare his favorite roasted chicken and she called me with the directions. We don't know the name of the chef, sorry. But whoever he is, this really is fantastic!

Tips:
- Use a meat thermometer to ensure the chicken is cooked through. The internal temperature of the chicken should reach 165°F (74°C) before removing it from the oven.
- Don't overcrowd the baking dish. This will prevent the chicken from cooking evenly.
- Use a light hand when applying the breadcrumb mixture. Too much breading will make the chicken dry.
- Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the chicken, resulting in a more flavorful and tender dish.
Conclusion:
This Amazing Crusted Chicken recipe is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. The chicken is juicy and tender, with a crispy and flavorful crust. The combination of herbs and spices gives the chicken a unique and unforgettable flavor. Serve this chicken with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a simple salad.
