Print Recipe

A quick and easy weeknight dinner featuring juicy chicken breasts with a crispy, golden Parmesan and mayo crust, ready in just 15 minutes.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (6–8 ounces each)
  • 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 1/3 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese, packed
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Pat chicken breasts dry with paper towels. If uneven in thickness, pound to even thickness.
  2. In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, Parmesan, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Stir into a thick paste.
  3. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
  4. Spread the mayo-Parmesan mixture evenly over the top of each chicken breast.
  5. Place chicken coated-side down in the hot skillet. Cook undisturbed for 3 minutes.
  6. Flip chicken and cook for another 3-4 minutes, until internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
  7. Remove from pan, let rest for 1 minute, then slice against the grain. Garnish with parsley if desired.

Notes

Use full-fat mayonnaise for best crust. Freshly grate Parmesan for proper melting. Do not overcrowd the pan. Let chicken rest before slicing.
