# Ingredients:

→ Main

01 - 2.5 pounds chicken breasts, bone-in or boneless
02 - 0.25 cup mayonnaise
03 - 2 tablespoons garlic, chopped
04 - 1 ounce dry onion soup mix (1 envelope)
05 - 1 cup dry breadcrumbs
06 - 0.25 cup grated Parmesan cheese

# Directions:

01 - Preheat your oven to 450°F and grease a heavy baking sheet with non-stick spray.
02 - In a small bowl, mix the mayonnaise and chopped garlic to create a garlic-infused mayo. Set aside.
03 - In another bowl, combine the dry onion soup mix, breadcrumbs, and grated Parmesan cheese for the topping. Set aside.
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.

# Notes:

01 - Letting the chicken rest post-baking enhances flavor and ensures juices are retained.
