Place each chicken breast between two pieces of plastic wrap. Using a meat mallet or a rolling pin, gently pound the chicken to about 1/2-inch thickness.
In a shallow dish, combine the gluten-free breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and dried oregano.
In another shallow dish, beat the eggs until well combined.
Spread the gluten-free all-purpose flour on a separate plate.
Dredge each chicken cutlet in the flour, shaking off excess.
Dip the floured chicken in the egg, allowing excess to drip off.
Press the chicken into the breadcrumb mixture, ensuring both sides are well coated.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
Add the breaded chicken cutlets to the skillet. Cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the coating is golden brown and the chicken is cooked through with an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Transfer the cooked chicken cutlets to a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
Serve the gluten-free breaded chicken cutlets warm with your choice of sides, such as a salad or roasted vegetables.
