Main Ingredients
- 1 cup fresh breadcrumbs
- 1/2 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon Morton’s kosher salt
- Black pepper to taste
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 7 ounces each), trimmed
Topping

Assemble the Chicken
Dry the chicken breasts with paper towels and arrange them in a 13×9-inch baking dish.
In a small bowl, mix the chopped parsley with mayonnaise, then spread this mixture evenly over the chicken breasts.
Sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture on top, pressing lightly so it adheres.

Bake the chicken for 18 to 22 minutes, or until the topping turns golden and the chicken’s internal temperature reaches 160°F.
