Throw your chicken pieces in a mixture of breadcrumbs, Parmesan, garlic powder, oregano, salt, and pepper until every bit of chicken is coated nicely.

Warm up olive oil in a big pan over medium to high heat. Fry the chicken chunks, flipping them every few minutes. Once they're golden and fully cooked, take them out and keep them aside.
