Ingredients
- 4 chicken breast boneless skinless, 6 oz
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1/4 cup buttermilk
- 1 1/2 tsp basil dried
- 1/4 cup Parmesan Cheese divided, finely grated
- 1/4 tsp garlic powder , divided
- salt to taste, freshly ground
- black pepper to taste, freshly ground
- 1/2 cup panko bread crumbs
- 1/4 cup bread crumbs dry, white bread
- 1/8 tsp onion powder
- olive oil spray
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Butter a 13x9 baking dish. In a shallow bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, buttermilk, dried basil, 2 Tbsp Parmesan cheese, 1/8 tsp garlic powder and season with salt and pepper to taste, set aside.
- In a separate shallow bowl, whisk together Panko bread crumbs, dry white bread crumbs, remaining 2 Tbsp Parmesan cheese, onion powder, 1/8 tsp garlic powder then season bread crumb mixture with salt and pepper to taste.
- Dip chicken in basil (pesto) dressing mixture and coat both sides, then dip in bread crumb mixture and coat both sides (I'd recommend giving a generous dipping in each). Align coated chicken breast halves in a single layer on baking dish. Spray tops of chicken breast halves evenly with olive oil cooking spray.
- Bake chicken in preheated oven 30-35 minutes until cooked through (I wanted mine nice and golden so I moved the oven rack up a bit during the last minute of baking and broiled them. If you do this don't walk away from them, watch them constantly to prevent over browning). Serve warm.
