Ingredients
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
4 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves
4 tablespoons dry bread crumbs
Directions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise and grated Parmesan cheese, mixing until well blended and uniform.
Place the dry bread crumbs in a separate shallow dish or plate.
Pat each chicken breast dry with paper towels. Spread an equal amount of the mayonnaise-Parmesan mixture evenly over the top and sides of each breast.
Working with one coated breast at a time, press it gently into the bread crumbs, coating the top and sides thoroughly. Place coated breasts on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake for 18–20 minutes, until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) when measured with a meat thermometer at the thickest part. The coating should be golden brown and crispy.
Remove from the oven and let rest for 2–3 minutes before serving.
