Chicken With Parmesan Cheese | A Quick and Easy Recipe by Judy

parmesan cheese

🥗Healthier: nutritional yeast

💰Cheaper: grated pecorino

Nutritional yeast offers a cheesy flavor with fewer calories.

mozzarella cheese

🥗Healthier: part-skim mozzarella

💰Cheaper: provolone

Part-skim mozzarella reduces fat while maintaining texture.

olive oil

🥗Healthier: avocado oil

💰Cheaper: canola oil

Avocado oil has a high smoke point and is healthier.

bread crumbs

🥗Healthier: panko

💰Cheaper: crushed crackers

Panko gives a lighter texture, while crushed crackers are often cheaper.

Preheat the oven to 425°F.

Take the chicken breasts out of the freezer and cut them in half, and then cut them in half again if they are large, to create quartered pieces.

Spray the bottom of a 9x9 inch baking dish with pan spray.

In a bowl, mix together 1/3 cup of mayonnaise and 1/3 cup of parmesan cheese until it forms a paste.

Spread the mayonnaise and parmesan mixture evenly over each piece of chicken.

Generously cover the chicken with gluten-free panko flakes to create a crust.

Dollop a little bit of butter on top of the panko-covered chicken to help brown the crust during baking.

Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake until the chicken is cooked through and the top is crispy.
