In another small bowl, combine:
. Grated Parmesan cheese
. Panko breadcrumbs
. Melted butter
. Mix until the ingredients are evenly combined and form a crumbly texture. The panko breadcrumbs give the topping its signature crunch, while the Parmesan adds a savory kick.
Step 4: Assemble the Chicken
. Spread a generous layer of the creamy topping over each chicken breast.
. Sprinkle the Parmesan crust mixture evenly over the creamy layer, pressing it gently so it adheres well.
Step 5: Bake the Chicken
. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
. Place the prepared chicken in the oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the Parmesan crust is golden brown and bubbly.
. For an extra crispy top, switch to the broil setting for the last 1-2 minutes. Keep a close eye to avoid burning.
Step 6: Garnish and Serve
. Once the chicken is out of the oven, let it rest for a couple of minutes to retain its juices.
. Sprinkle with dried parsley for a touch of color and flavor.
. Serve hot with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, steamed vegetables, or a fresh green salad.
Tips for Perfect Parmesan Crusted Chicken
. Use Fresh Ingredients: Freshly grated Parmesan cheese and high-quality mayonnaise elevate the flavor.
. Don’t Overcook the Chicken: Use a meat thermometer to ensure the chicken is perfectly cooked at 165°F. Overcooked chicken can become dry.
. Customize the Crust: Add a hint of spice with red pepper flakes or mix in Italian seasoning for a more herbaceous flavor.
. Make It Gluten-Free: Substitute the panko breadcrumbs with gluten-free breadcrumbs if needed.
. Prep Ahead: You can prepare the creamy topping and Parmesan crust mixture in advance to save time.
