    Mayo Parmesan Chicken takes minutes to prep and then toss in the oven to bake. Chicken covered in mayonnaise, Parmesan cheese, and more all topped with breadcrumbs.

    This is one of my favorite easy meal ideas. You don’t need much to make the chicken, and you can tackle other things while the chicken bakes.

    How to Make Mayo Parmesan Chicken

    Full steps on how to make this Parmesan chicken. The full measurements and guys are at the bottom of the post.

    5. Once chicken is done let rest 5 minutes then serve it up. 

    Helpful Tips for Parmesan Chicken

    Thickness of Chicken 

    If your chicken is pretty thick you can always place it between two layers of plastic wrap and pound on it to thin it out a bit. This will help for a quicker cook. 

    Meat Thermometer 

    I do recommend investing in a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of your meat. You want the internal temperature to be 165 degrees F for fully cooked chicken. Make sure to not touch the bone or it will give a higher reading. 

    Variations to Mayo Chicken Recipe

    Pork Rind Topping 

    Instead of a keto bread crumb made with keto bread you can also buy pork rinds. You can crush pork rinds up or buy them pre-crushed.

    No Topping 

    Skip the bread crumb topping and just do the mayonnaise and parmesan cheese mixture. It will still bake up nicely and create a golden brown color. 

    Seasoning 

    Feel free to season your chicken as you would like with your favorite seasonings. Or just do a simple salt, pepper, and garlic powder. 

    Mayo Parmesan Chicken FAQs

    How to store leftover chicken? 

    You will want to store any chicken you don't eat in an airtight container for 2-3 days. Just reheat in the microwave for a quick heat. Or opt to warm it up in the oven. If you do warm in the oven, cover with foil to prevent the chicken from drying out. 

    Can I use bone-in chicken? 

    You can use bone-in chicken or boneless chicken for this recipe. The biggest thing is to cook according to the chicken. Make sure it gets fully cooked. 

    Can you use mayo as a binder for chicken?

    So the mayo can create a binder or barrier for the chicken. The mayo creates a layer over the chicken to help keep your chicken juicy.

      FABULOUS!!! We have this recipe pretty much weekly. The family demands it! My only variation is mixing the mayonnaise, panko and Parmesan together before placing it on the chicken. One of the easiest and best chicken recipes I have.
