Directions:
Preheat oven to 400°F. Grease a baking dish with olive oil.
In a shallow bowl, mix breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper.
Dip each chicken cutlet into the beaten eggs, then coat evenly in the breadcrumb mixture.

Sprinkle shredded mozzarella on top and bake for another 10 minutes until cheese is melted and bubbly.
