Description
A cozy fall favorite featuring juicy chicken breasts with a savory Parmesan crust.
Ingredients
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup mayonnaise
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 cup breadcrumbs (or almond flour for gluten-free)
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Prepare the chicken breasts by pounding them to an even thickness, about 1 inch thick.
- Make the crust mixture by combining mayonnaise, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper in a large bowl.
- Dip each chicken breast into the mixture, ensuring even coverage, then press gently into the breadcrumbs.
- Arrange the crusted chicken breasts in a greased baking dish.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes or until cooked through and the crust is golden brown.
- Garnish with fresh parsley and serve hot.
Notes
Use a meat thermometer to ensure the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C). Consider broiling for a crispier crust.
