Parmesan chicken breasts

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:

1/2 cup mayonnaise salad dressing
120g
1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
24g
4 chicken breasts
470g
2 tbsp bread crumbs
16g

Instructions:

1. Preheat Oven:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Prepare the Coating:
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.
3. Coat the Chicken:
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.
4. Apply the Bread Crumbs:
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.
5. Arrange in Baking Dish:
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.
6. Bake:
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.
7. Serve:
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.
8. Enjoy:
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.
