Oh my goodness. I made the most delicious chicken last night. It was so yummy and so easy.

It literally only took five minutes to prep and about 30 minutes to bake. It was fast and easy and that’s exactly what I need in my life!

If you’re looking for something good to cook for dinner tonight, I highly recommend this recipe.

The chicken comes out slightly crispy, yet incredibly moist and juicy on the inside.

It only requires 4 ingredients — mayo, parmesan cheese, Italian bread crumbs, and chicken breasts.

With so few ingredients, it’s one of those meals you can easily throw together last minute!

Parmesan Crusted Chicken Breasts

Ingredients

• 1/2 c. real mayonnaise
• 1/4 c. grated parmesan cheese
• 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1 1/4 lbs.)
• 4 tsp. Italian seasoned dry bread crumbs

To get started, heat your oven to 425 degrees. Place chicken on a baking sheet or in a glass dish (I like to use a Pyrex dish).

In a medium bowl, mix the mayo and parmesan cheese.

Spread the mixture evenly over the chicken breasts, and then sprinkle Italian bread crumbs over the top.

Bake for 20 minutes or until the chicken is thoroughly cooked.

The topping helps keep the chicken moist and juicy. It comes out a little crispy and so full of flavor!

We paired our chicken with golden corn and creamy parmesan noodles. It was a huge hit among the entire family!

Everyone thought it was absolutely delicious, so I will definitely be making it again!
