Ingredients
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
4 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves (about 1 1/4 lbs.)
4 teaspoons Italian seasoned dry bread crumbs
Directions
Preheat your oven to 425°F.
In a medium bowl, stir together the mayonnaise and grated Parmesan cheese until well combined.
Arrange the chicken breasts on a lightly oiled baking sheet, spacing them evenly.
Spread the mayonnaise-Parmesan mixture generously over the top of each chicken breast.
Sprinkle the Italian seasoned bread crumbs evenly over the mayonnaise mixture on each piece.
Bake for approximately 20 minutes until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F when measured with a meat thermometer in the thickest part, and the topping is golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let rest for 2-3 minutes before serving.
Comments
Every ingredient is a staple at any Charlotte grocery chain, and the cost per serving runs about $2.50 to $3.00 depending on chicken price, making this genuinely economical. The stated 30 minutes is honest if you pound the chicken thin while the oven preheats; allow a few extra minutes if you're not practiced at it. This reheats decently in a 325-degree oven and makes easy leftovers for lunch, though the crust softens slightly—a fair trade for a weeknight dinner that requires no special trips and feeds a family with minimal fuss or attention."
