Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts Opt for fresh or thawed insulated packs; they cook evenly.
  • 1 cup mayonnaise For a tangy twist, try adding a little Dijon mustard to your mayo.
  • 1 cup breadcrumbs Use seasoned breadcrumbs for an extra flavor kick, or make your own from stale bread.
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder Enhances the flavor; fresh garlic can also be substituted for a richer taste.
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder Enhances the flavor; fresh onions can also be substituted for a richer taste.
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil Adds richness to the dish.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C), ensuring it’s hot for an even cook.
  2. In a bowl, combine mayonnaise, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper until smooth and well-mixed.
  3. Coat each chicken breast generously with the mayonnaise mixture, ensuring every nook and cranny gets some love.
  4. Roll the coated chicken in breadcrumbs until they are fully covered.
  5. Place the chicken breasts in a baking dish, and drizzle with olive oil.
Cooking
  1. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through with a beautifully golden-brown coating.
  2. Serve hot and enjoy your meal!

Notes

Baking time can vary depending on the thickness of chicken breasts; check for doneness. For extra crunch, broil the chicken for the last 2-3 minutes.
