Parmesan Chicken is one of my family’s favorite baked chicken recipe. And it is so easy! Boneless chicken breasts are coated in mayonnaise that has been seasoned with seasoned salt, paprika, and garlic powder. Then they are pressed in a mixture of crisp panko crumbs and grated Parmesan cheese. Just 30 to 35 minutes in the oven and these golden chicken breasts are ready to be served up.I love to serve the chicken with Parmesan rice or garlic pasta shells and steamed broccoli. This is a super simple weeknight meal the everyone will love.
