Ingredients
- 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts halved through the middle to make thin fillets, or 1 pound pre-sliced chicken breast fillets
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1 tablespoon olive oil

Instructions
- Season both sides of the chicken with salt and black pepper. Season both sides with the parmesan cheese and Italian seasoning.
- Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook until golden brown on both sides. Transfer the chicken to a plate.
