Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Prepare Chicken: Place the chicken breasts between two sheets of plastic wrap or parchment paper. Pound them to an even thickness of about 1 inch for even cooking.
Set Up Dredging Stations: In one shallow dish, place the flour. In a second dish, whisk the eggs. In a third dish, combine the Romano cheese, breadcrumbs, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes.
Dredge Chicken: Start by coating each chicken breast in flour, shaking off the excess. Then dip into the egg mixture, allowing any excess to drip off. Finally, press the chicken into the cheese and breadcrumb mixture, ensuring an even coating.
Arrange on Baking Sheet: Place the coated chicken breasts on the prepared baking sheet. Spray the tops lightly with olive oil to promote browning.
Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and the crust is golden brown. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C).
Once cooked, remove from the oven and let the chicken rest for about 5 minutes before serving.
