101 Cooking For Two - Everyday Recipes for Two: Oven Baked Mayonnaise Parmesan Chicken

So what is better than one Paula Deen recipe? Well the answer is two Paula Deen recipes. And neither one had butter. Amazing.

I started with an oven fried chicken recipe. The topping looked good but she used mustard as the base. But I'm not a mustard person. I though of using mayo. I searched a little and found another recipe. Also a Paula Dean for an oven baked chicken with a spicy mayo base. I of course did a little modification. She would not recognize them but we have a very tasty and easy baked chicken that is company ready but weekday simple.

Notes: I did this with bone-in skin-on chicken breast (AKA split chicken breast). It would be fine with any chicken and I'm looking forward to trying it on skinless boneless chicken breast since it might be a five there.

Preheat oven to 375 convection. Prepare a baking pan by lining with aluminum foil and topping with a rack if you have one. Spray will with PAM.

Rinse and pat dry chicken breast.

Split the chicken breast in half.

Mix 1/4 cup mayonnaise, 1/2 t paprika, 1/4 t each of salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Add 1/8 t cayenne and mix well.

Combine 1/2 cup panko bread crumbs and 1/4 cup Parmesan in a dredging pan or on a large plate.

Paint the breasts on all sides with the mayo paste.

Roll in the bread crumb mixture and place on the prepared pan.

Sprinkle the top with a little of the left over breading mix and pat it on a little. Bake at 375 for about 50 minutes to internal temp of 165.
