Background and History:

Simple Chicken Mayo with Parmesan and Bread Crumbs is a dish that combines the rich, creamy flavor of mayonnaise with the crispy texture of bread crumbs. While there may not be a specific historical origin for this particular recipe, it reflects a classic approach to coating chicken for a delightful crunch. The combination of mayonnaise, Parmesan cheese, and bread crumbs creates a flavorful and easy-to-prepare meal.

Ingredients:

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 cup bread crumbs
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • Cooking spray (olive oil or vegetable oil)

Instructions:
