Preheat your oven to 375Β°F (190Β°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or spray it lightly with cooking spray.
Place the chicken breasts between two sheets of plastic wrap or parchment paper and pound them to an even thickness of about 1/2 inch using a meat mallet or rolling pin. Season both sides with salt and black pepper.
Set up a breading station with three shallow bowls: one with the flour, one with the eggs whisked together with the water, and the last with a mixture of Panko breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, and garlic powder.
Dredge each chicken breast in the flour, shaking off any excess. Then dip it into the egg wash, allowing the excess to drip off. Finally, coat it in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to ensure an even layer.
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add two chicken breasts and cook for about 2-3 minutes per side until they are golden brown but not fully cooked through. Transfer them to the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining chicken using the last tablespoon of olive oil.
Bake the chicken in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165Β°F (74Β°C).
Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes. Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired, and serve warm.
