Method
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease a baking dish.
- Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels. Butterfly or pound thick breasts to ½ inch thickness.
- In a medium bowl, combine mayonnaise, Parmesan cheese, breadcrumbs, garlic, parsley, oregano, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
- Generously spread the parmesan mixture over the top of each chicken breast, covering completely.
- Place chicken in the baking dish. Drizzle olive oil over the parmesan crust. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until chicken reaches 165°F (74°C) internal temperature.
- For extra crispiness, broil for 1-2 minutes, watching carefully.
- Let chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh parsley and lemon wedges, if desired.
Notes
You can use chicken thighs instead of breasts, adjust cooking time accordingly and ensure internal temperature of thighs reaches 175°F (80°C). For gluten-free option, use gluten-free breadcrumbs or almond flour.
