Ingredients
Scale
Protein:
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
Cheese and Spread:
- 1/2 cup (120 ml) mayonnaise
- 1/4 cup (25 g) freshly grated Parmesan cheese
Seasoning and Coating:
- 1/4 cup (30 g) seasoned breadcrumbs
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper and heat the oven to 375F (190C) for optimal cooking conditions.
- Craft a savory coating by thoroughly blending mayonnaise, Parmesan cheese, breadcrumbs, salt, and pepper in a mixing bowl until ingredients are uniformly combined.
- Arrange chicken breasts on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring even spacing for consistent cooking.
- Generously distribute the creamy mixture across the surface of each chicken breast, creating a complete and even layer that will transform into a crispy, golden topping.
- Transfer the baking sheet to the preheated oven and roast for 30-35 minutes, monitoring until the chicken reaches a safe internal temperature and the coating develops a rich, golden-brown crispness.
- Remove from the oven and allow the chicken to rest briefly, which helps retain moisture and enhances the overall texture.
- Plate the chicken immediately while hot, serving as a delectable main course that promises a tender, flavorful dining experience.
Notes
- Use fresh, high-quality mayonnaise for the best creamy texture and rich flavor.
- Opt for freshly grated Parmesan cheese instead of pre-packaged to enhance the overall taste and meltiness.
- For a gluten-free version, swap breadcrumbs with almond flour or crushed gluten-free crackers to maintain the crispy coating.
- Ensure chicken breasts are similar in size and thickness for even cooking, preventing dry or undercooked sections.
