In a shallow bowl, combine the grated Parmesan cheese, breadcrumbs, garlic powder, oregano, paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix well to ensure all the seasonings are evenly distributed.

Take each chicken breast and coat it thoroughly in the Parmesan mixture, pressing gently to help the coating stick to the chicken.
