Parmesan Chicken Breasts are a delightful and savory dish that's perfect for a quick weeknight dinner or a special occasion. This recipe combines the creamy richness of mayonnaise with the tangy sharpness of Parmesan cheese to create a flavorful coating for tender chicken breasts. The addition of bread crumbs adds a crispy texture that complements the moist and juicy chicken, making for a truly satisfying meal.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a medium-sized bowl, combine the 1/2 cup of mayonnaise salad dressing with the 1/4 cup of grated Parmesan cheese. Mix until well blended.
Place the chicken breasts on a clean surface or cutting board. Use a spatula or spoon to evenly spread the mayonnaise mixture onto each chicken breast, ensuring they are well-coated on all sides.
Sprinkle the 2 tablespoons of bread crumbs evenly over the mayonnaise-coated chicken breasts. Gently press the bread crumbs into the chicken so they adhere well.
Lightly grease or spray a baking dish with non-stick cooking spray. Arrange the coated chicken breasts in the prepared baking dish, making sure they do not overlap.
Place the baking dish in the preheated oven. Bake for approximately 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C). The coating should be golden brown and crispy.
Once baked, remove the chicken breasts from the oven and let them rest for a few minutes before serving. This will allow the juices to redistribute within the chicken.
Serve your delicious Parmesan Chicken Breasts with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables, a fresh garden salad, or mashed potatoes. Enjoy!
Tips:
- For an extra crispy coating, you can toast the bread crumbs in a dry pan over medium heat until they are golden brown before using them in the recipe.
- To ensure even cooking, pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness before applying the mayonnaise and Parmesan mixture.
- If you prefer a lighter option, you can use Greek yogurt or a light mayonnaise instead of regular mayonnaise.
- Add some spices or herbs, such as garlic powder, Italian seasoning, or paprika, to the bread crumbs for an extra layer of flavor.
- Serve the Parmesan Chicken Breasts with a fresh green salad or roasted vegetables for a balanced meal.
- Make sure to let the chicken rest for a few minutes after baking to lock in the juices and keep the meat tender.
With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a delicious and impressive meal that will surely become a family favorite. Parmesan Chicken Breasts are easy to prepare and full of flavor, making them a go-to recipe when you need something quick yet delightful. Enjoy with your favorite side dishes, and savor the rich and savory taste of this comforting dish.
