Chicken Parmesan

I've been making this for years and I can not remember when someone has not asked for the recipe. Note: you can't go overboard on the flour or breadcrumbs, since the chicken will only take whatever amount it needs to be coated

• Ready In: 50 mins

Ingredients

• 1 1⁄2 cups flour (depends on size of chicken breasts)
• 1 1⁄2 cups  seasoned bread crumbs (depends on size of chicken breasts)
• 1⁄2 cup  shredded parmesan cheese (the very finely pre-shredded from the grocery store works best, divided)
