Mayo Parmesan Chicken
Description
This Mayo Parmesan Chicken recipe involves spreading a blend of mayonnaise, minced garlic, salt, and pepper over whole boneless skinless chicken breasts placed in a baking dish. Parmesan cheese is sprinkled on top before baking at 375°F for about 30 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 165°F, ensuring juicy and cooked-through chicken.
The mayonnaise base keeps the chicken moist while baking, while the Parmesan forms a savory crust with a rich, slightly tangy flavor enhanced by garlic. The result is chicken pieces that are tender inside and have a flavorful topping.
Optional additions include topping with panko or buttery cracker crumbs for extra crunch and using Italian breadcrumbs for added flavor. You can substitute chicken tenders for breasts but reduce baking time by about 10 minutes. Chicken thighs may be used as an alternative cut depending on preference.
