Parmesan Crusted Chicken with Mayo 
:
Ingredients
– 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts 
– 1/2 cup mayonnaise 
– 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
– 1/2 cup breadcrumbs (preferably panko) 
– 1 teaspoon garlic powder 
– 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
– 1/2 teaspoon salt 
– 1/2 teaspoon black pepper 
– 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley (optional)
Preparation 
1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). 
2. Prepare Chicken: Place the chicken breasts between two sheets of plastic wrap or parchment paper. Gently pound with a meat mallet or rolling pin to an even thickness.
3. Make Coating: In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, dried Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.
4. Coat Chicken: Spread a generous layer of the mayonnaise mixture over each chicken breast, making sure to cover the surface completely.
5. Add Breadcrumbs: Sprinkle the breadcrumbs evenly over the mayonnaise-coated chicken breasts, pressing gently to adhere.
6. Bake: Place the coated chicken breasts on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the coating is golden and crispy. 
7. Garnish and Serve: If desired, sprinkle the baked chicken with chopped fresh parsley before serving. Enjoy your Parmesan Crusted Chicken with Mayo with your favorite sides!
