01 - 2.5 pounds chicken breasts, bone-in or boneless

# Directions:

04 - Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Brush them with the garlic mayo, ensuring even coverage.
05 - Sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture over the chicken breasts, pressing gently to ensure it adheres.
06 - Place the coated chicken on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 35 to 45 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F.
