- 2 tablespoons olive oil
For the Herb Butter:
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened

Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Bread the chicken: In a shallow dish, mix the breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Dip each chicken breast in the beaten eggs, then coat with the breadcrumb mixture.
