How to Make Ritzy Parmesan Baked Chicken

Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
In a small bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup mayonnaise (or light mayonnaise) and 2 tablespoons lemon juice. Set aside.
In a separate shallow dish, combine 1 1/2 cups crushed crackers (such as Ritz), 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese, 1/4 cup chopped fresh basil, 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper.
Dip each chicken breast into the mayonnaise mixture, ensuring it's fully coated.
