  • Total Time: 35 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • ½ cup mayonnaise (regular, light, or avocado-based)
  • ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • ½ cup seasoned breadcrumbs
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • Chopped parsley (optional for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a small bowl, mix together mayonnaise, Parmesan, and garlic powder until smooth.
  3. Place chicken breasts on the prepared sheet and pat dry.
  4. Spread the mayo-Parmesan mixture evenly over each breast using the back of a spoon.
  5. Sprinkle seasoned breadcrumbs over the top and press lightly to adhere.

  7. Let rest for 2 minutes, garnish with parsley if desired, and serve warm.

Notes

Light mayo or avocado mayo can be used for a healthier twist. Use freshly grated Parmesan for the best texture and flavor.
