- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- Salt and pepper, to taste

- In a medium-sized bowl, combine the Parmesan cheese, breadcrumbs, minced garlic, dried basil, dried oregano, salt, and pepper. Mix until well blended.
- Brush each chicken breast with olive oil, ensuring an even coating to help the crust adhere.
- Press the Parmesan mixture firmly onto each chicken breast, covering both sides evenly.

- Serve warm with your favorite sides for a delightful meal. Enjoy!
