Heat 2 tablespoon olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.
Dip chicken pieces in egg mixture letting excess drip off.
Dip into flour mixture, shaking extra off and put into hot pan.

Place in oven for about 7-8 minutes until chicken is done (remember it is thin) and cheese is bubbly.
Garnish with parsley. I served mine with fusilli pasta.
