How to Make Tender Italian Baked Chicken

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup mayonnaise, 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese, and 1 teaspoon garlic powder.
  3. Place 1 1/2 cups breadcrumbs in a separate shallow dish.
  4. Dip each chicken breast into the mayonnaise mixture, ensuring it's fully coated. Then, dredge in the breadcrumbs, pressing gently to adhere.
  5. Arrange the coated chicken breasts on a wire rack placed over a baking sheet. This allows for even browning.
  6. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature reaches 165°F/74°C) and the coating is golden brown and crispy.
