Description
This easy oven fried chicken is coated with seasoned breadcrumbs, parmesan, and mayo for a crispy, golden crust. Juicy, flavorful, and ready in just over 30 minutes.
Ingredients
3 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 cup seasoned Italian breadcrumbs
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 tsp garlic powder
½ tsp kosher salt
½ tsp freshly ground black pepper
¼ tsp ground paprika
⅓ cup mayonnaise
Instructions
Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with cooking spray.
Mix coating: In a shallow dish, combine breadcrumbs, Parmesan, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and paprika.
Prepare chicken: Slice each chicken breast in half lengthwise to make thin fillets. Place between plastic wrap and gently pound to about ⅜-inch thickness.
Coat chicken: Evenly spread mayonnaise on both sides of each fillet. Dredge in the breadcrumb mixture to coat thoroughly.
Bake: Arrange coated chicken on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 17–20 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through (internal temp of 165°F).
Serve: Let rest for a few minutes before serving.
Notes
Use a meat thermometer to ensure doneness (165°F internal temperature).
Mayo helps the breading stick and keeps the chicken moist—no eggs needed!
For extra crispy texture, broil for the last 1–2 minutes (watch closely).
Great served with roasted veggies, mashed potatoes, or a crisp salad.
