INGREDIENTS

  • 2 lb boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • ¼ cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 2 cup Panko breadcrumbs
  • ⅓ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 2 teaspoon paprika
  • ½ teaspoon Kosher salt
  • ¼ teaspoon fresh cracked pepper
  • olive oil spray

INSTRUCTIONS

  • Put the mustard and mayonnaise in a small bowl and season with salt and pepper. Mix by whisking.
  • Combine the panko crumbs, parmesan cheese, paprika, fine sea salt, ground black pepper, and onion powder in a medium-sized bowl.
  • Coat the chicken on both sides by dipping it into the mayo mixture.
  • After placing the chicken in the panko bowl, turn it over to coat the other side. Make sure the chicken is well covered in crumbs by pressing the panko onto it.
  • Arrange the chicken on a baking sheet covered with parchment paper, then mist it with olive oil spray.
  • Bake until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees, 15 to 22 minutes.
  • Before serving, let the chicken rest for five minutes. Serve right away after adding 1 tablespoon of freshly chopped parsley and a fresh lemon.

NOTES

  • Since freshly grated parmesan cheese melts better and helps the coating stick to the chicken, I suggest using it.
  • To make cleanup easier, be sure to line your baking sheet with parchment paper!
  • Remember to brush the breading with olive oil before putting the chicken cutlets in the oven for the most beautiful results. This will help the outside achieve the desired golden color and crispy texture.
  • Reduce the amount of mayonnaise you use. It should be just enough to let the panko cling to the chicken breast, not too thick. As it cooks, it will melt, softening the meat and assisting in the crisping of the crumb topping.
  • As long as you take care not to overcook it, this panko chicken comes out incredibly juicy and moist! Put a meat thermometer into the thickest portion of a breast if you're concerned about overcooking, and take the pan out of the oven when it hits 165°F.
