    Ingredients for Baked Parmesan Crusted Chicken

    • ½ cup real mayonnaise
    • ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
    • 4 (5-ounce) boneless, skinless chicken breast halves
    • 4 teaspoons Italian seasoned dry breadcrumbs
    • 4 teaspoons fresh parsley, chopped

    Pantry Substitutes

    • Use Greek yogurt instead of mayonnaise for a lighter version.
    • Swap Italian breadcrumbs with plain ones seasoned with garlic powder and dried herbs.

    Step-by-Step Instructions

    Step 1: Preheat Your Oven

    • Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).

    Step 2: Prepare the Topping

    • Mix mayonnaise and Parmesan cheese in a medium bowl until smooth.

    Step 3: Assemble the Chicken

    • Arrange chicken breasts on a baking sheet.
    • Spread the mayo mixture evenly over the chicken, then sprinkle breadcrumbs and parsley on top.

    Step 4: Bake to Perfection

    • Bake for 20 minutes, or until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through (165°F internal temperature).

    Chef’s Tips

    • Extra Crispy: Use panko breadcrumbs for a crunchier texture.
    • Flavor Boost: Add garlic powder or Italian seasoning to the mayo mixture.
    • Even Cooking: Pound chicken breasts to an even thickness before baking.

    Serving Suggestions

    Side Dishes: Serve with roasted vegetables, garlic mashed potatoes, or a crisp Caesar salad.
    Perfect Pairing: A glass of Chardonnay complements the Parmesan flavor beautifully.
