This super crispy and golden Baked Parmesan Chicken is one of my favorite baked chicken recipes. 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 Panko crumbs and grated Parmesan cheese.
The mayonnaise does something magical to make the chicken stay super moist and tender.
Just 30 to 35 minutes in the oven and these golden chicken breasts are ready to be served up.
The Panko crumbs get super crispy and mixing them with Parmesan adds plenty of flavor. You could also use store bought or homemade bread crumbs, but I especially like the Panko crumbs.
I love to serve Baked Parmesan Chicken with Parmesan Rice or garlic shells and steamed broccoli. This is a super simple weeknight meal the whole family will love.

I am going to do this!! Looks great! Thanks!
I didn’t have regular mayo and used miracle whip. The entire family loved it, great recipe!
Best baked chicken ever!
I love this recipe but 30-35 minutes at 425 is a fantasy way to dry out your chicken completely. Can almost cut 10 minutes off of that time and still have great chicken
Fantastic*
Made this last night and followed the video…note to anyone following the recipe it uses grated parm, but the video uses shredded parm. I prefer shredded so glad I followed along with the video ☺️
I agree… good recipe, but 20 minutes is sufficient. My chicken was way too dry at 30 minutes.
Just made the Parmesan chicken and loved it. Thank you!
I made this 2 times already my toddler loves it and ny 1 yr old does too thank you for this recipe!! I kake rice on the side and some steam brocolli 😍😍
I made this for a house party and then brought another batch in to work to share… The only adjustments I made were that I cut the chicken into “finger-food sized” bites and the seasoned salt I used Mrs. Dash Southwest Chipotle Seasoning Salt. (the only “seasoning salt” I had in the cupboard, lol). It seemed to be a hit both times. 🙂
I love this method. I made chicken parmigiana with the finished bake (put a couple tablespoons of warm marinara and a slice of fresh mozzarella on the chicken and then a minute under the broiler). It was a huge hit.
Trying method tonight with pork to make Japanese tonkatsu.
I made this for a little get-together with some friends [because who doesn’t love cheese and chicken?] and it was a hit!! I made some alfredo shells and broccoli as well as pictured and it was an amazing combo and absolutely filled our stomachs. Everyone’s plate was licked clean!
My all to. Its to die for. Am like so glad I read your receipts. Now all my family is fixing this am like me…..so so loving it….
Thank you for passing this dam great reciept…… I’LL NEVER EVER GO BACK TO JUST BAKING CHICKEN IN THIS LIFETIME… THANKS YOU MADE ME SO HAPPY… TERRU
Do you think you could do the mayo / crumb coating steps and then freeze the chicken breasts? I’d love to make a big batch of these and throw them in the freezer. Or do them as chicken strips and freeze! Any idea what the cooking time would be to cook straight from frozen?
Wow. Amazing. Served it with para and Rao Marinara ( the only good store bought marinara) with fresh basil and charred zucchini. YUM! All in less than one hour.
I used a coating of olive oil instead of the mayo. Baked on parchment paper on a pan in my toaster oven. A quick spray of cooking oil made the coating brown and crispy. I’d definitely make it again.

every time I make a version of baked chicken fingers, they stick to the pan. This recipe was no different. And I had a hard time getting the top to get crispy. The flavor was great but they did not hold up like I hoped.
I recently made a very similar version that came out perfectly. I placed a baking rack on top of a foil covered 9X13 cookie sheet and baked the chicken on there. The end result was delicious, crunchy chicken, not soggy. Bonus… clean up was a breeze!
Made the recipe exactly as directed and it was excellent. Have to share with friends.
So happy you enjoyed it Sandy!
Better than restaurant. Gluten free option would be toasting up a piece of gluten free bread.. Then grind them up in a food processor.
I made this tonight, now I look pregnant lmao. This was so good I couldn’t stop eating it! Great recipe!
Patted the breasts dry, sprinkled with Mrs Dash. Mixed the grated Parm with the mayo (2 generous Tbsp) and spread on top of the chicken breasts. Sprinkled with Panko crumbs. Baked @ 375° F convection and they were lovely & tender, crispy on the outside. Great recipe! I’ll be using this one from now on.
Trying this tonight. The mayo trick works great with boneless pork chops as well, but I use grated cheddar and no crumbs. They’re always juicy & tender. Love the idea of Parm and Panko crumbs with the chicken.
