Ingredients
Scale
Chicken:
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1/2 cup (120 milliliters) mayonnaise
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Parmesan Coating:
- 1 cup (100 grams) grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 cup (60 grams) panko breadcrumbs
- 2 tablespoons (30 milliliters) olive oil
- Cooking spray
Topping:
- 1/2 cup (60 grams) shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/4 cup (15 grams) fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375F (190C), preparing a baking dish with a light coating of cooking spray to ensure effortless food release.
- Create a flavorful coating by thoroughly blending Parmesan cheese, panko breadcrumbs, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper in a mixing bowl until ingredients are uniformly distributed.
- Whisk mayonnaise with a dash of salt and pepper in a separate container. Completely envelop each chicken breast in the mayonnaise mixture, then carefully roll in the Parmesan-breadcrumb blend, gently pressing to secure an even, adherent layer.
- Arrange the coated chicken breasts in the prepared baking dish. Optional: Drizzle a small amount of olive oil over the surface for enhanced crispiness. Roast for 25-30 minutes, monitoring until the internal temperature reaches 165F (74C) and the exterior turns a golden, appetizing brown.
- During the final 5 minutes of baking, generously scatter mozzarella cheese across each chicken breast. Return to the oven, allowing the cheese to melt and transform into a bubbling, tantalizing topping.
- Extract from the oven and permit the chicken to rest briefly. Embellish with freshly chopped parsley and serve while still warm, presenting a restaurant-quality dish.
Notes
- Choose chicken breasts of uniform thickness to ensure even cooking and prevent dry or undercooked sections.
- Pat chicken dry with paper towels before coating to help the breading adhere better and create a crispier texture.
- Use freshly grated Parmesan for maximum flavor and better coating consistency compared to pre-packaged grated cheese.
- Swap mayonnaise with Greek yogurt for a lighter, lower-calorie alternative that still provides moisture and helps breading stick.
