Ingredients

  • ½ cup good quality mayonnaise Hellmann's, Best Foods or Dukes
  • ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves about 1 pound
  • Kosher salt and pepper
  • 3 - 4 teaspoons Dijon mustard
  • 4 teaspoons seasoned bread crumbs
  • 1 can French fried onions, crushed to make about 8 tablespoons

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 425º
  • Combine mayonnaise and parmesan cheese in bowl, set aside. Gently pound chicken breast halves between plastic wrap to thin slightly and make uniform pieces. Place pounded chicken on foil-lined baking sheet.
  • Sprinkle chicken with salt and pepper. Spread about 1 teaspoon of Dijon mustard on top of each breast half. Evenly top with mayonnaise mixture and then sprinkle each with 1 teaspoon of Italian seasoned bread crumbs. Lastly, evenly top each with 2 tablespoons crushed fried onions.
  • Baked until the chicken is done and tops are browned, about 15 - 20 minutes. Serve and enjoy.

Notes

  • Sometimes I gently pound the chicken to be more uniform and thinner, or I cut in half horizontally if really big.  Just looking for four even sized boneless chicken breasts.
  • Inspired and adapted from Hellmann's Parmesan Crusted Chicken recipe
