Preheat the oven to 200°C (392°F). Season the chicken breast with the salt and black pepper.

Dredge the chicken in the all-purpose flour, dip it in the beaten eggs, and coat it evenly with the breadcrumbs.

Heat the vegetable oil in a wide skillet over medium heat and fry the breaded chicken until golden on both sides and 74°C (165°F) at the thickest part. Transfer the cutlets to a baking tray.

Sprinkle the dried oregano over the cheese and bake until the topping is hot and the cheese is fully melted and bubbling.
