Breaded Mayonnaise Chicken . . . juicy, flavorful chicken with a crunchy topping. It only takes a few simple ingredients to make this family favorite chicken dish!

Simple chicken recipes are always a winner at my house. I served this chicken with Parmesan Roasted Potatoes and peas. It would also be tasty with Sesame Green Beans and Au Gratin Potatoes.

I found a recipe for mayonnaise chicken in one of my mom’s old cookbook binders. It was actually clipped from a jar of mayonnaise. The original recipe didn’t call for breading the chicken, but I thought that would be a tasty addition. It sure was!

I also added some minced garlic and red pepper flakes for a flavor boost. This chicken is so flavorful, and it practically melts in your mouth. 

How to make breaded mayonnaise chicken:

Ingredients:

• boneless chicken breasts
• mayonnaise
• parmesan cheese
• seasoning salt and pepper
• minced garlic
• red pepper flakes
• Panko bread crumbs
• Italian seasoned bread crumbs

Cut the chicken breasts into strips and place in a greased 9×13″ pan. Whisk together the mayonnaise, parmesan, salt, pepper, garlic, and pepper flakes in a small bowl. Spread over the chicken.

Stir together the Italian bread crumbs and the Panko bread crumbs. Sprinkle evenly over chicken.

Bake at 375° for 25-35 minutes till topping is browned and chicken is cooked through. I use a meat thermometer and cook to 165°.

Can I use whole chicken breasts? Yes, but you will need to increase the baking time to 45-50 minutes.

The mayonnaise mixture leaves the chicken nice and juicy, and the crumbs should be a nice golden brown. Using two types of bread crumbs made the chicken topping just perfect. The Italian bread crumbs add nice flavor, and the Panko crumbs make everything extra crispy. So yummy!

There is actually a fair amount of sauce left in the pan, so you could definitely serve the chicken over rice, noodles, or mashed potatoes. I actually left our extra sauce in the pan to cut down on the amount of fat per serving, but it is quite tasty. Do whatever you prefer. 

Everyone in my family loved this chicken, and I think it would be a hit even with the pickiest of eaters! It’s so easy to throw together it is perfect for crazy weeknights. You could even assemble it in the morning and just keep it in the refrigerator till you are ready to bake it.

Give it a try and let me know how you like it. Maybe it will become a new favorite at your house as well!
