How To Make Parmesan Crusted Chicken With Mayo

*Note: The full printable recipe card is at the bottom of this post.

Place boneless skinless chicken breasts in a baking dish.
Coat the top of the chicken with mayonnaise.

Sprinkle parmesan cheese on top of the mayo.
Top with a layer of Italian seasoned Panko breadcrumbs.

Bake until the top is crispy and golden brown.

Can This Be Made Ahead Of Time

I would not recommend it. This dish only takes about 5 minutes to prepare so I would not try to do it ahead of time. To get that great crunchy topping, the chicken needs to go into the oven soon after the breadcrumbs are added.

How To Store Leftovers

Store in a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, or in the freezer for up to 3 months.

How To Reheat

The crunchy topping is best when it is fresh out of the oven. When reheating, the oven is also the best method.

If frozen, transfer the chicken to the refrigerator to thaw the day before you want to reheat it.

Place the thawed chicken in a broiler safe baking dish or baking sheet. Reheat in a 300°F oven until the chicken is warmed through (about 15 minutes). Then, switch the oven to broil. Broil the chicken until the topping is crisp.

Prep Time 5 minutes

Cook Time 25 minutes

Total Time 30 minutes

4 (5 oz.) boneless skinless chicken breasts or cutlets
4 Tablespoons mayonnaise
1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
1/4 cup Italian seasoned Panko breadcrumbs

Preheat oven to 425 degrees°F. Spray a 9x13 inch baking dish with cooking spray.
Place the chicken in the baking dish. Spread the mayo evenly over the chicken. Sprinkle the parmesan cheese evenly over the chicken. Then, sprinkle evenly with the breadcrumbs.
Bake for 25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through to an internal temperature of 165 degrees°F.

How do I bake chicken breast without it drying out?

Cook at a lower heat for longer to keep the chicken breast tender and juicy. Bake just until internal temp reaches about 160º F, then let sit under foil to cook to a safe internal temp. Line pan or baking sheet with foil or parchment paper for easy cleanup. Olive oil keeps chicken moist and adds extra flavor.

Can you bread chicken with mayo?

Dredge the cut chicken into mayonnaise, then dredge in seasoned Panko mixture. Place coated chicken in a single layer on the parchment paper lined baking sheet, leaving room between each tender. Bake in preheated oven for 15 minutes, turn each piece, bake for 15 more minutes.

Can you use mayo instead of egg to bread chicken?

Most breaded chicken breasts get a coating of flour, egg, then breadcrumbs, but this recipe streamlines things by ditching the eggs and flour and using mayonnaise. The mayo helps the breadcrumbs stick to the chicken (kinda like glue) and gives it a nice golden color.

How long do you cook a chicken breast in the oven at 400?

A medium size chicken breast (5 to 6 ounces each), takes approximately 20 to 25 minutes to bake in a 400 degree oven. I always bake chicken breasts at 400 degrees Fahrenheit as the high temperature helps seal in the juices (and the flavor).
