Prepare the breading station: Place 150 g of flour in a shallow dish. Beat 4 eggs in another shallow dish. Take 150 g of barbecue-flavored chips in their original bag and crush them thoroughly using a potato masher until finely crumbled. Cut open the bag of crushed chips. Add 50 g of grated Parmesan cheese directly into the bag with the chips. Mix the chips and Parmesan well by hand inside the bag.

Dredge the pounded chicken breast first in the 150 g of flour, ensuring it's fully coated. Next, dip the floured chicken breast into the beaten eggs, making sure it's completely covered. Finally, place the egg-dipped chicken breast into the bag with the crushed chips and Parmesan. Press the chip mixture onto both sides of the chicken, ensuring a thick and even coating.
