This will become a favorite "go to" recipe!
I don't know how many others do this too, or if it's just me. Take meat out of the freezer, but haven't got a clue what to do with it. I knew I wanted to make chicken tonight, but wasn't sure what kind. Baked? Fried? Cutlets? Casserole? Parmesan? That's when my brain froze...too many choices!
So, my extremely intelligent granddaughter said, "Time to go on Pinterest, Gramma." She was right! The first thing that came up was a picture of this delicious looking baked chicken. The best part was that I already had all the ingredients, so I didn't have to run to the store (how I hate that). Okay, I confess...I didn't actually go to the store, my husband always volunteered to go for me. Have I mentioned what a great guy he was?
Anyway, after 5 minutes of prep work, and about 40 minutes in the oven we had a delicious dinner. Definitely a keeper!
Ingredients:
½ cup Mayonnaise
½ cup shredded Parmesan cheese
4 boneless skinless chicken breast cutlets.
4-5 teaspoons Italian seasoned dry bread crumbs
½ teaspoon garlic powder
Pinch of salt
½ teaspoon lemon pepper
Instructions:
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
In a small bowl combine mayo, garlic powder, and parmesan cheese.
Moisten chicken breasts with water and lay on baking sheet (Line baking sheet with parchment paper to make clean up easy)
Divide the mayonnaise mixture evenly among the chicken, just spreading it across the top of each piece, and sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste.
Bake for 15-20 minutes, remove from oven and sprinkle bread crumbs on each piece of chicken.
Return to oven and bake for additional 20 minutes or until chicken is cooked thoroughly and juices run clear.
Tops will be browned and chicken will be incredibly juicy.
You can also finish them off under the broiler for a minute or two to give them an extra browning on top.
Serve with a veggie like these delicious fresh broccoli that I steamed.
Season with a dash of fresh parsley, if desired.
Be encouraged!
