For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a pinch of red pepper flakes to the bread crumb mixture for a subtle kick.
Freshly grated Parmesan cheese makes a noticeable difference in the overall taste and texture.
Don't overbake the chicken, or it will become dry. Use a meat thermometer to ensure it reaches the perfect internal temperature.
If you want a crispier coating, lightly spray the breaded chicken with cooking oil before baking.

    This recipe is a lifesaver! So easy to make and the chicken comes out perfectly moist every time.

  • Darrick Yundt

    I found that using panko breadcrumbs made the coating extra crispy. Will definitely make this again!

    My kids absolutely loved this! They're usually picky eaters, but they devoured it.

    I added some lemon zest to the mayonnaise mixture and it brightened up the flavors beautifully!
