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
Recipe courtesy of Hellmann’sĀ
Ingredients
- 1/2 c. real mayonnaise
- 1/4 c. grated parmesan cheese
- 3-4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1-1/4lbs.)
- 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!

This is a great recipe! I put the chicken on a rack in the pan and the crispness is even better! Also I have used butter and garlic in place of the mayo… both are fantastic!!
Hi Viki! I haven’t tried it on a rack but that sounds awesome. I love when they get crispy. Thanks for sharing! š
How much butter and garlic in place? Like 1/4cup if butter and 1/4C of garlic to make the 1/2 or another combo
These look absolutely delicious.
Made this tonight and it was a hit!
My son is very picky (even at 9) and he LOVED! it Thank you!
You’re welcome, Elizabeth! Thank you for sharing. I’m so glad it was a hit! š
This chicken looks amazing! I really like how easy it is to prepare. It’s perfect for a busy weeknight meal. Thank you for sharing. I’m definitely going to give this a try!
This looks and sounds fantastic.I would do light and dark meats. Hubby likes light I like dark. It would be great on both.
You could definitely do it on dark meat. Let me know if you try it! š
What an easy recipe that looks so delicious. I love to try new chicken recipes.
This looks and sounds like it would be very tasty. I wonder if I could use this in an instant pot. I could put the ingredients on and place it in the pot, cook for 10 minutes and then put it under the broiler for a couple of minutes. Would that work?
Hi Rissa! I’ve never made it in the instant pot, so I can’t say for sure if that will work. If you try it out, please come back and let me know! š
My boys loved it, I was on the fence and my hubby hated it! Sorry, can’t win them all
I made this for my girlfriend and I this evevening and from start. to plate was 30 minutes. Amazing. I purchased two very large chicken breasts and when we took the first bite, both of us said wow almost simultanjiously. Paired ours with spaghetti in a three cheese Alfredo sauce and a side of salad with Italian dressing.
Hi Ken, thanks for sharing. I’m so glad you liked it! I bet it was delicious with spaghetti and alfredo sauce!!
Just made this for me and hubby. Sat down to eat and we both enjoyed it so so much! He just told me it was very tasty! Thank you so so much for giving me a recipe that hubby enjoyed!!
Hi Donna, thanks for sharing! I’m so happy to hear that you enjoyed it!
Making tonight! If my guy thinks I went to a lot of trouble, who am I to change his view? Thanks for the super easy and simple ingredient dish.
