Parmesan Crusted Chicken

By Addie

"The simplest and most savory way to dress up chicken breasts for a quick supper is just to top them with mayonnaise, sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and bread crumbs, and bake. Dinner will be ready in 30 minutes or less." - Hellmann's

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup mayonnaise
• 1/4 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
• 4 boneless skinless chicken breast cutlets, about 5 ounces each
• 4 teaspoons Italian seasoned dry bread crumbs

Preparation

Step 1

Set oven 425 degrees.

Place mayo and cheese in a small bowl and mix. Lay chicken breasts on baking sheet (I line my baking sheet with parchment paper to make clean up easy) and spread mayo mixture evenly atop each. Next evenly sprinkle bread crumbs atop each.

Place in oven and bake for 20 minutes or until chicken is cooked thoroughly and juices run clear. 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.

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

REVIEWS:

This is a great idea! At first I thought the mayo was going to make the chicken too greasy but really it crisps up nice! The only variation to improve is too butterfly the chicken breasts so each will taste more seasoned. Also rather than top with mayo and bread crumb mix dip chicken in mayo both sides then cover in bread crumb mix on both sides as well. Very Good!

This was so much better than expected. I am nervous about serving rare/raw chicken so I cooked for 45 min at 350 degrees (accurate for my oven, at least) and my husband loved it. Loved it! I was a little weary about using mayonnaise but the finished product really was delicious. I added some salt & pepper and served with peas & carrots, and a dinner roll. Delicious!

Although I made some changes, I am rating this more for myself. I used miracle whip, personal preference. Also mixed in some garlic powder, pepper and dried basil. I then rolled the chicken pieces in the parmesan cheese. I left out the bread crumbs altogether. I had sliced the chicken breast into 4 pieces to have more coating so the cooking time was good for me. Very nice flavor, quick and easy. A keeper.

This is such a great recipe! My Mom used to make this all the time when I was a kid. I usually go an egg wash, but I thought I'd give the mayo a try just for old times sake and to see what my husband thought. I used more bread crumbs and added more seasoning to to them (parsley, oregano, basil, rosemary). I also opted to use Hellman's light mayo and light Parmesan cheese. I sprayed the bottom of the baking dish with Pam so nothing would stick and these came out moist and delicious - perfect with a side of twice baked potates and a salad.

Omg! This was to die for! I always read the other reviews and many times revise the recipe based on the other ones, but I didn't change much on this one. I added some spices (oregano, parsley, garlic, salt & pepper) my husband loved it, I loved it too, and I'm not a big fan of meat, but this really was amazing! It's a keeper!

Wonderful! I added more seasonings to the Mayo mix: seasoning salt, garlic powder, dash of cayenne and some lemon pepper.. coated chicken in mayo mix, and tossed them in a ziplock with bread crumbs. Sprinkle some paprika on top for a fancier look.. baked on rack over cookie sheet so the bottoms didn't get soggy- there are none for leftovers! I will be making this again.

This was delicious. I put the chicken and mayo mixture in a bag and coated, then put the coated chicken into another bag with the bread crumbs (I used more than it called for, for a thicker crust) so the chicken was evenly coated, not just on the top. My husband (who hates mayo) loved it, didn't even know he ate mayonnaise, LOL!

Everyone loved this one! They already want me to make it again. I probably used a bit more mayo and parm than the recipe called for and I sprinkled Italian herb seasoning on as well. My kids thought it was the best chicken EVER!

Wow...I've been seeing this recipe on TV commercials lately, wanted to try it. didn't want to go to grocery store today, so used what I had on hand. had chicken tenders thawed out so used them. I didn't have italian bread crumbs, so used my plain ones and added italian seasoning. I pat dry the tenders and did brush the mayo (ONLY HELLMANN'S IS ALLOWED IN MY HOUSE! :D) and Parmesan cheese on both sides, topped with bread crumbs and baked. I served them with scalloped potatoes and green beans. WOW THIS RECIPE IS SO EASY AND MOST DEFINITELY A KEEPER!

We LOVED this recipe! It was moist and flavorful - and my usually picky husband had nothing but praise to say. :) I followed the other reviewer's suggestion and dipped it in the mayonnaise mixture and then the cheese mixture to coat the whole thing. Excellent! I will definitely be making this one again! :)

All I can say is WOW! This was SO good I couldn't believe it! The chicken was really moist and the flavor was great! I did prepare it the day before and let it sit in the fridge with the may/cheese topping over night, adding Panko bread crumbs just before baking. You could also add some seasoning this to jazz it up, but it is really good as is!
