Parmesan Crusted Chicken -Hellmann's Recipe

By SuzyHomemakerGoneBad

This recipe is courtesy of Hellmann's Mayonnaise. Many people have experimented with this recipe by using yogurt (Greek, plain, 0%, or light), and/or sour cream (regular or light) in place of the mayonnaise and have had great results. If you choose to substitute, especially with 0% Greek yogurt, consider adding some fresh squeezed lemon juice, garlic powder, and some extra salt and pepper to the mix to amp up the flavor.

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup real mayonnaise
• 1/4 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
• 4 boneless skinless chicken breast cutlets, about 1 1/4 lbs. total weight or about 5 ounces per breast
• 4 teaspoons Italian seasoned dry bread crumbs

Preparation

Step 1

1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit.

2. Place mayonnaise and cheese in a small bowl and mix.

3. Lay chicken breasts on baking sheet (sprayed with nonstick cooking spray or lined with parchment paper for easy cleanup) and spread mayonnaise mixture evenly atop each.

4. Next evenly sprinkle 1 teaspoon of bread crumbs atop each.

5. Place in oven and bake for 20 minutes or until chicken is cooked thoroughly and juices run clear, or 165 degrees with a meat thermometer). Tops will be browned and chicken will be incredibly juicy. You can also finish them off under the broiler for a minute or two to get them extra browned on top.

6. Season with a dash of fresh cracked pepper and sea salt, if desired.
