Pound the chicken breasts out slightly to make them a uniform thickness for faster cooking.
Roll out a piece of waxed paper or foil, and pile the shredded parmesan cheese on top.
Add the olive oil to a large nonstick skillet and heat over medium high heat until very hot.
Season your chicken breasts with black pepper. Then press the breasts firmly into the parmesan cheese, coating both sides with as much cheese as possible.
Set the chicken breasts in the skillet and cook for about 7 minutes on each side, until cheese forms an even, golden casing and the chicken is cooked through.
