Set up three large shallow bowls in an assembly line. Place the flour in the first bowl; beat the eggs in the second bowl; mix the breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, salt, pepper, and chopped fresh herbs in the third bowl.
Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Dredge chicken breasts in the flour; shake off the excess until just a light coating remains; dip the chicken in the egg mixture, turning to coat evenly, letting any excess egg drip off; dredge the chicken in the breadcrumbs, turning a few times to coat well. Place breaded chicken on a plate.
Heat vegetable and olive oil in a large sauté pan over medium heat. When oil is hot, add the chicken breasts to the pan; cook for 2-3 minutes until the first side is golden brown; flip; continue cooking until done, 2-3 minutes longer.
Serve immediately sprinkled with more Parmesan cheese and garnished with lemon wedges.
