Parmesan Crusted Chicken
I tried this recipe for a dinner that I hosted. Yummy! An easy recipe for a group and will impress your guests. :)
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
4 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves (about 1-1/4 lbs.)
4 tsp. Italian seasoned dry bread crumbs
DIRECTIONS
Preheat oven to 425°.
Combine mayonnaise with cheese in medium bowl. Coat each piece with the mayo/cheese. Coat in the bread crumbs.
Bake until chicken is thoroughly cooked, about 20 minutes.
Tips:
*I used boneless, skinless chicken thighs instead of the breast halves. They are a perfect size for company - especially for children or small eaters. Make sure to make at least two for adults. Many of the adults at my meal at two thighs. I had 13 people at our dinner, I made two packages which I believe were around 12-13 thighs in a package. We had some leftover but that is good! I never want to run out of anything I serve - that way I know guests feel comfortable to eat all they want and get their fill without feeling like they are eating the last of the food. Always make more than you need! :)
*Plan on cooking time to be longer than the recipe. I cooked mine at a lower temperature for at least an hour! You want to make sure they are cooked through and crispy on the outside to serve. Especially when you are having guests - start earlier than you think you need.
*I used cookie sheets covered with foil. Use this tip for easy clean-up or you will regret it later! LOL!
*I served this chicken with crockpot mac and cheese (so creamy and yummy!!), corn on the cob (I used fresh corn and snapped them in half - this is better to serve - people can take two or three or just the one if they want!) and watermelon.
