Ingredients

  • 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • to taste Salt and black pepper
  • 1 cup breadcrumbs (preferably panko)
  • for garnish Fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a baking dish with non-stick spray or oil.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well blended.
  3. Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels and season both sides with additional salt and pepper.
  4. Dip each chicken breast into the mayonnaise-Parmesan mixture, ensuring an even coating on both sides.
  5. Next, roll the coated chicken in the breadcrumbs to create a crunchy crust. Make sure to press the breadcrumbs onto the chicken for a better hold.
  6. Place the coated chicken breasts in the prepared baking dish, leaving some space between each piece.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F or 74°C) and the tops are golden brown.
  8. Once done, remove from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes.
  9. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley before serving.

💡 Chef's Notes

For extra crunch, use panko breadcrumbs.
