Parmesan Crusted Chicken

Although I made some changes, I am rating this more for myself. I used miracle whip, personal preference. Also mixed in some garlic powder, pepper and dried basil. I then rolled the chicken pieces in the parmesan cheese. I left out the bread crumbs altogether. I had sliced the chicken breast into 4 pieces to have more coating so the cooking time was good for me. Very nice flavor, quick and easy. A keeper.

This was so much better than expected. I am nervous about serving rare/raw chicken so I cooked for 45 min at 350 degrees (accurate for my oven, at least) and my husband loved it. Loved it! I was a little weary about using mayonnaise but the finished product really was delicious. I added some salt & pepper and served with peas & carrots, and a dinner roll. Delicious! Makes a great, balanced meal and can be calorie controlled for those who wish.

I’m generally very impressed with Hellmann’s recipes, but this time not so much. So I changed it up big time I guess. I salted and peppered the chicken breasts, then spread them with mayonnaise to which I added fresh minced garlic. I mixed panko bread crumbs and the grated Parmesan in a ratio of 2:1, and added fresh oregano, parsley and rosemary, topping each of the chicken breasts as the recipe directs. I gave them a drizzle of olive oil before popping them in the oven. I much preferred that method and those fresh ingredients rather than mixing the cheese in with the mayonnaise and using Italian seasoned bread crumbs which I don’t think I would have cared for. I sliced the chicken and served it over “Spinach Ranch Salad,” also from this site, and “Broccoli Cheese Soup V.”

This is such a great recipe! My Mom used to make this all the time when I was a kid. I usually go an egg wash, but I thought I'd give the mayo a try just for old times sake and to see what my husband thought. I used more bread crumbs and added more seasoning to to them (parsley, oregano, basil, rosemary). I also opted to use Hellman's light mayo and light Parmesan cheese. I sprayed the bottom of the baking dish with Pam so nothing would stick and these came out moist and delicious - perfect with a side of twice baked potates and a salad.

Tastey recipe. I used exact ingredients in recipe) but prepared a little differently because of lack of time. I rolled chicken in mayo and dipped them in mixture of parmesan and bread crumbs. I then cooked it on a george foreman grill. I've never tried anything breaded on my GF grill, but it turned out perfectly and took less than 10 minutes cook time! By the way, I used PANKO Italian seasoned bread crumbs which have a much better texture than regular bread crumbs.

Omg! This was to die for! I always read the other reviews and many times revise the recipe based on the other ones, but I didn't change much on this one. I added some spices (oregano, parsley, garlic, salt & pepper) my husband loved it, I loved it too, and I'm not a big fan of meat, but this really was amazing! It's a keeper!

Wonderful! I added more seasonings to the Mayo mix: seasoning salt, garlic powder, dash of cayenne and some lemon pepper.. coated chicken in mayo mix, and tossed them in a ziplock with bread crumbs. Sprinkle some paprika on top for a fancier look.. baked on rack over cookie sheet so the bottoms didn't get soggy- there are none for leftovers! will be making this again.

This was delicious. I put the chicken and mayo mixture in a bag and coated, then put the coated chicken into another bag with the bread crumbs (I used more than it called for, for a thicker crust) so the chicken was evenly coated, not just on the top. My husband (who hates mayo) loved it, didn't even know it had mayonnaise ;)

I added parsley, oregano, and garlic powder to the cheese/mayo mix. I cut the chicken in half, then salt and peppered the chicken. I rolled the chicken in the cheese/mayo mix, then coated in Italian bread crumbs. For thick breasts, it took about 30 minutes at 425. Perfection!

wow...i've been seeing this recipe on t.v. commercials lately, wanted to try it. didn't want to go to grocery store today, so used what i had on hand. had chicken tenders thawed out so used them. i didn't have italian bread crumbs, so used my plain ones and added italian seasoning. i pat dry the tenders and did brush the mayo (ONLY HELLMANN'S IS ALLOWED IN MY HOUSE! :D) and parmesan cheese on both sides, topped with bread crumbs and baked. served with scalloped potatoes and green beans. WOW THIS RECIPE IS SO EASY AND MOST DEFINITELY A KEEPER!

Excellent!! Made as is, but as a personal preference, I breaded my chicken completely with panko bread crumbs then added topping!

I enjoyed the taste of the seasoning, but the amount of mayo actually made the breading quite soggy. Definitely going to add less Hellmann's than the recipe calls for.

This recipe was ok but far more enticing to look at than tasteful. It wasn't great but ok for a quick meal.

We LOVED this recipe! It was moist and flavorful - and my usually picky husband had nothing but praise to say. :) I followed the other reviewer's suggestion and dipped it in the mayonnaise mixture and then the cheese mixture to coat the whole thing. Excellent! I will definitely be making this one again! :)

I buy hard boiled eggs. The kitchen is that room with the big sink. I just tried this and it was amazingly easy and I've never had chicken this good anywhere! I'm so proud of myself, this is definitely my go to dish if I need to impress

Great for a busy week night meal. Easy, quick, and very tasty. The mayo does not overpower at all and my whole family (picky eaters included) loved this.

I made this recipe last week from the Hellmann's site. It was so simple, easy and good. Definitely a new addition to the BSCB book. Dinner in 20? Yes!

Everyone loved this one! They already want me to make it again. I probably used a bit more mayo and parm than the recipe called for and I sprinkled Italian herb seasoning on as well. My kids thought it was the best chicken EVER!

Honestly, this was just ok. It really tasted just like Shake n Bake. Pretty cheap tasting. I followed the recipe to a T. I'm not sure how so many people thought this was so amazing. Go buy a bag of pistachios or macadamia nuts, crush them up, add in the parmesan, some italian herbs and spices and coat the chicken with that. So much tastier and about the same price!

Disgusting. I like mayo and salad dressing on chicken sandwiches so I thought this would be a good recipe. My husband, my 7 yr old (who's not a picky eater at all) and myself all thought this was just gross. BEWARE!!!

Very good, I changed it up a little bit. I left out the bread crumbs. First I wrapped the chicken in bacon then I spread the mayo parm mixture on top. So yummy, my husband says it's his favorite meal.

I love this fast easy tasty chicken.

I can't say that it was a particularly eye-appealing dish, but I can say that the taste is delicious. Moist, tasty chicken which is so easy to get on the table. We definitely will be having again.

This is a good basic recipe for parmesan chicken. However I did have to change the recipe a little bit to have my family eat it. I added garlic powder and black pepper. I used quite a bit because my family loves those two spices. Make sure you use mayo not mircle whip it changes the flavor completly! I used about a cup and a half of bread crumbs instead of 4 teaspoons because that is just not enough.

This concept works really well on fish filets, too. I added a little lemon juice and garlic powder, spoon on tilapia and baked about 20 minutes. Delicious! I make this often with rice and a green vegtable for dinner, and it takes so little time, and is very impressive.

Yum! This was sooooo easy and very tasty. My 1 and 4 year olds loved this chicken. I couldn't get enough. I rolled the chicken in the mixture (lightmayo, parmesan). I added garlic powder, sea salt, pepper, dried basil and dried oregeno to my plain bread crumbs then sprinkled it over the chicken. 20 minutes at 425 was spot on, but I left it in a few minutes longer because I'm so afraid of undercooked chicken. I think it was fine at 20 minutes though. I will be making this for my family again and again. Thank you for a GREAT recipe that takes no time to whip up.

This was incredibly TASTY! No revising done either. Normally most Parmesan chicken I make REALLY takes on a strong flavor of the cheese but this was just so beautifully flavored I would give it more than 5 stars if I could. We will definitely be making this one again for the family. It felt like we were eating at a nice restaurant:D Thank you so much for sharing this!

I made this recipe & it turned out GREAT, it was tasty, easy & fast to make. Even though the recipe doesn't call for it, be sure to season your raw chicken breast before you add the mayo mixture & bread crumbs or it may taste a bit bland. I seasoned my chicken w/Lawry's, garlic powder, black pepper & a little thyme. I also cooked it for 30 mins, instead of 20 as the recipe states, doing that made the crust crispier & less mushy.

This is absolutely delicious!!!!!! Very moist and oh so easy to make !!!! The only change I made was to use chicken tenderloins as that is what I had defrosted.

It was really good. I used 2 pounded out to make thinner breasts and just eyeballed the amount of ingredients to use. Next time I will use a gravy or sauce to put on them. My hubby thought using cream of chicken (or mushroom) soup and add lemon juice to the soup would be nice and fast. That's kinda of a staple in his family (Greek) for dolmades. I probably used about 1/4 cup parmesan tho. I also added garlic powder to the mayo/cheese mix. Used paper plates, for the mayo mix on one and crumbs on other (can throw away those those plates instead of washing them).

this is really good chicken! I cut the breasts in half just for quickness in cooking. I spread the mayo/parm mixture on both sides of the chicken & put the bread crumbs only on the top. I did end up baking it for 27-28 min, but only b/c I wanted the crumbs to be a browned a lil more. This will be a keeper for our menu box.

Very good! :) Easy to make!

This results in a very moist chicken breast! The mayo adds a nice little zing.

All I can say is WOW! This was SO good I couldn't believe it! The chicken was really moist and the flavor was great! I did prepare it the day before and let it sit in the fridge with the may/cheese topping over night, adding Panko bread crumbs just before baking. You could also add some seasoning this to jazz it up, but it is really good as is!

Very nice taste! I personally don't like Mayo the strait stuff ;) but i do like Mirical whip so i substituted. I added more seasoning then directed turned out waaaaay better thanks for the recipe!

I add alittle garlic and cayenne to mine as well as a crushed cracker/pretzel crust in place of the bread crumbs (using pretzel and crackers helps use up food you already have and limits unneccesary additional purchases) . Andt really gives it a special touch and crunch. I also lightly coat mine in mayo then coat in the parm/pretzel/cracker mixture. basically same recipe just alittle different assembly style.

Very good! I was not shy to make it one week after for the guests, and they loved also!

Just made this tonight. Didn't have mayo so I substituted sour cream. Worked really well! Moist and delicious!

This is a great recipe,super easy. Tasted great, even my picky 5 yr old liked it!

This chicken is super easy to make! Tastes amazing... and a great quick dinner to make. I will definitely make it again!

This was delicious! I did season the chicken with powdered onion and garlic, kosher salt and fresh ground pepper. Instead of Parmesan cheese I used fresh Le Gruyere cheese I bought from Costco. This was an excellent, easy recipe. Thanks! I forgot the bread crumbs the first time I made it and it was still delish. The second time I made my own crumbs and it was superb!

5 stars really isn't enough!!! Instead of seasoned bread crumbs I used Panko seasoned with various spices . Instead of measuring the mayo, I just eyeballed and rubbed it sparingly over the chicken. Enough though to cover and hold the Panko. And I baked it on my cookie cooling rack over a baking sheet. Everyone loved it and it was so, so moist, tender and crispy!!!!! Thank you!!!!

I did everything that was posted, but still tasted like it was missing something. I'm gonna try some of the other suggestions but love the idea.

Super easy and very flavorful....I will admit I added a bit of onion powder, garlic powder, and italian seasoning into my mayo mix. I covered with foil for the first 20 minutes and then took off the foil and let it bake some more for the last 15 minutes and it was quite crunchy on the outside and moist on the inside. Yum

So delicious! I used fat-free mayo and a reduced fat parmesan to make it healthier. The dish turned out moist and full of flavor! An added plus is there aren't a ton of dishes to clean up by following the preperation method given!

This recipe is great as-is, though I find that I always need more of the mayo-parmesan mixture and especially the bread crumbs to fully cover the chicken. (That is probably because most of the chicken breasts sold where I live are bigger than 5 oz.) A couple more tips: Be sure to pat down the bread crumbs so they stick well and don't fall off. Use a thermometer to ensure that the chicken is done - big chicken breasts can take 30 minutes or even longer to get done. Really big, thick chicken breasts can take so long to cook that the bread crumbs start to over-brown or even burn. So if you have whoppers, you might want to cut them in half horizontally before coating them. I like this recipe even better with a 1:1 ratio of mayo to Parmesan, but then I love Parmesan. Freshly grating good Parmesan off a block, rather than using the pre-grated stuff from the store shelf, makes this recipe even more awesome. Also, taste your bread crumbs before using them. If their flavor is weak, your finished dish will taste bland. Don't be afraid to add more Italian herbs, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and/or pepper until the bread crumbs' flavor is to your liking.

Chicken was very tender but lacked flavor. Super easy to make but not high up on my familys favorite.

This recipe is AMAZING..Easy to prepare and the ONLY thing I added was Adobo Seasoning to both sides of the chicken before putting on the mayo/cheese combo. Totally delicious....A++++

I made it as directed and it is absolutely delicious! In my opinion it needs no other spices, the parmesan has just enough salt and flavor. And DON'T overcook it! The cooking time is right on. Overcooked chicken is dry and tastes nothing like tender, juicy chicken. This recipe is one of my favorites and I've cooked it 3 times in the last month :)

Love this recipe. I like to use Hellman's with Canola Oil to cut calories. Sometimes I will add a clove of minced garlic as well. Yummy!

Ive made this many times, having gotten the recipe from the mayo label, and it's truly delish, and quick, too.

It's not bad. Not greasy. I just really didn't enjoy the mayo taste and that's strange since I'm a mayo fan. Other than that I enjoyed it.

Great Recipe, Chicken remained moist

This was great. I accidentally got shredded cheese instead of grated but it actually turned out really good. I think I may do that again. I covered them in jarred sauce and mozzarella when baking. It was great. i made leftovers for lunch that my boyfriend ate that night.

If you add a tbsp of lemon juice to the bread crumbs before topping the chicken, it adds a little zip :)

This chicken was really yummy. I did add my own touches. I seasoned the mayonnaise (I used Lite) with some pepper, garlic, and onion powder. I also made my own topping with crushed butter crackers. I then added garlic powder, pepper, onion powder, and Parmesan cheese to the topping. After I put the mayonnaise on the chicken, I dipped it in the topping. My family loved this! I'll be making this again.

Got this recipe from a friend, it is the most amazing way to make parmesan chicken. Crazy moist and flavorful! I will never make it any other way again!

very moist and good flavor. easy to make, which is always a huge plus

it was very good and juicy. it takes longer than 20 minutes to bake though

I have made this twice once with mayo and today with miracle whip!! Miracle whip was so gross, never again!! The first time I loved it and the chicken was super moist. I will only use mayo from now on!!

This was super quick and easy. Per an old recipe I used to make with Miracle Whip, I added oregano and a dash of paprika to the mayo mixture. Came out tasty, but I think the chicken needs a little s/p (or maybe garlic salt?) before the mayo topping. Also, may try Panko next time, though regular Italian bread crumbs were fine. I buy the big bags of Perdue chicken breasts at Costco. I can walk in the door, throw one or two into a knotted plastic bag (from Wal-mart, cheap twist tie bags near Ziplock items); float it in lukewarm water and it thaws in about 30 mins. Then proceed with a recipe like this. So easy.

I've been wanting to try this recipe for a while. I followed the recipe step by step and it turned out bland I am a beginner cooker and I know that was a major factor Any suggestions?

EXTREMELY easy and tastes good too. I hate mayonnaise so I was a bit skeptical, but you can't taste the mayo at all and the chicken comes out very moist.

I thought this was great. I made it exactly the way the recipe says, and it was so moist and delicious. My family loved it too! Made it for a food auction as well, and the person who bought it said later that she LOVED it! She said it tasted like it took me a long time to prepare!

Absolutely AMAZING! love it, its the best way to dress up chicken(:

I crush up croutons if I don't have bread crumbs but this recipe is delicious either way. So simple. As a bachelor, I only bread my chicken like this, other recipes have too many ingredients :)

This has been a favorite in our house for years, made exactly according to the recipe. I do pound the chicken breasts to make sure that the edges don't dry out while the thicker parts get fully cooked. I recommend you try it as written before you start making changes!

I really enjoyed this chicken, although I didn't end up using all of the mayo. Since I had already dished it up, I used the extra mayo with Parmesan for artichokes. Will definitely make this again.

super easy and super moist. the only thing i did differently was use the mayo for a 'wash' and the parmesan cheese as the 'crumb', rolling the entire breast in the mayo followed by the cheese and baked!

Excellent!! My husband does not usually like new recipes... but he LOVED this! It was so quick and easy to make! I used italian bread crumbs for more flavor and added them to both sides of the chicken. Yummy!

Followed the recipe exactly and it was delicious! Super quick and easy to make, I definitely recommend it.

simple, easy, quick meal. tasty with mashed potatoes and corn. i did cut chicken breast in half and liked that. cooked fine in 20 minutes.

This was the easiest, most delicious chicken recipe ever. I hope my husband does not get sick of this, because I plan on making it all the time now. I coated each piece of chicken very well with the mayonnaise mixture before sprinkling each side with bread crumbs.

This was soooo good!

I found this to be extremely easy and very delicious!!

Really easy and amazing. I bought chicken tenders instead of breasts because I do not like cooking them. I put on italian seasoning, salt, pepper, and lemon juice before the mayo and parm. Definitely gonna keep this recipe for the future. Easy and very tasty.

I did not care for this recipe. Very one dimentional.

My boyfriend absolutely hates mayo. I was a little worried he'd taste it but ... he didn't notice a thing. In fact, he said it was some of the best chicken he'd ever had!! Love this!!

I changed it up a bit. I never have bread crumbs so I crushed saltine crackers and mixed in garlic salt, oregano, basil, and dried crushed tomatoes for the topping. So easy, and took no time at all. I was surprised at how tender it was, I recently had my wisdom teeth pulled and I had no trouble eating it. My daughter who's two said yummy after every bite!

Great recipe that the whole family loves and very easy to make. Plus I always have the ingredients on hand. For my family's personal taste - I find that there is too much mayo so I use half the amount called for. Still comes out perfect and I taste the chicken instead of all mayo.

Have made it several times in the past. One of my favourite chicken recipes! This time I added pepper, garlic powder, and dried basil to the mix, as suggested by one of your reviewers, and just as delicious. Served it with a side of broccoli and pasta. Quick, easy, and yummy!

I'm really not much of a cook - my husband does most of the cooking in our family. I needed something simple and quick. I wasn't too sure about the mayonnaise but this was a huge hit with my young adult son! It will certainly be served again!

easy and good

Simple and yummy. We loved it!

Made exactly as is. Excellent. Teen son couldn't stop eating it! Used light mayo.

I'll be honest, I gave this a try because I had leftover mayo. Neither my boyfriend and I eat mayo, or a lot of mayo based dishes, we just don't really dig the taste. But here I am, after a party, where I made a sauce that involved mayo, and I have a whole jar left... what to do? I decided to try out this recipe. My boyfriend, who usually won't touch mayo, LOVED the chicken. I actually had to go out and buy more mayo because he liked it so much. I added a much of spices, because I was afraid it would be bland. It was also super simple to make. I love simple during the week.

My family adores this recipe. I use the tenders and really pile the may mixture up. Served with mashed potatoes and corn and its a family favorite.

There is no better way to prepare chicken. I suggest pounding the pieces to get them even and adding about a tsp of mustard to the mayo---or a squeeze of lemon. Absolutely salt & pepper and spice the chicken on both sides. A little cooking spray on top helps the breadcrumbs brown nicely.

Very good Dish. Good as left overs as it reheats very well.

This was so good - and easy! The chicken came out juicy and the flavor was great. I sprinkled the top with Italian bread crumbs for a little extra zing. The leftovers were chopped up and tossed in with a salad. Yum!

Not only is this recipe good on Chicken, but I've made it with Tilapia and Pork Chops. I've just added applicable spices to the mixture, like some Old Bay with the Tilapia. Such a delicious recipe!

I think that this is a really good recipe. I did do somethings differently though. Instead of using mayo, I coated the chicken in eggs. I also seasoned the eggs so that the chicken was well-seasoned and was tasteful.

My family was a bit skeptical at first, but when it was all done they were asking for the recipe! We loved it!! Great recipe, quick and easy.

I used mayo w/ olive oil and a little bit of Miracle Whip. Mixed that w/ the parmesan cheese. Butterflied the chicken breast and "dipped" them in the mayo mixture. Then coated all over w/ breadcrumbs (seasoned w/ garlic, onion powder, paprika, s&p). Very good result however thought they could use a little more seasoning.

I find it slightly too salty, but it's still a nice treat with a side of pasta. The salt taste could possibly be from the breadcrumbs, so I may use plain next time and add my own italian spices.

Excellent. Really easy to make, my husband loves it..

It was really quick to make and the chicken was the very moist. I did cook the chicken a few mind longer than the recipe indicates.

Make sure not to over cook. Al doesn't like!

This was very good. The entire family enjoyed it. We will be making this again soon.
