Ingredients
  

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

1 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1 cup breadcrumbs (preferably panko for extra crunch)

4 cloves garlic, minced

2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped

1 teaspoon dried oregano

1 teaspoon salt

½ teaspoon black pepper

½ cup mayonnaise

2 tablespoons olive oil

Instructions
 

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).

    In a mixing bowl, combine the grated Parmesan cheese, breadcrumbs, minced garlic, parsley, oregano, salt, and pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly distributed.

      In another bowl, stir together the mayonnaise and olive oil until smooth. This mixture will help the crust adhere to the chicken and add moisture.

        Dip each chicken breast into the mayonnaise mixture, coating it generously on both sides.

          Press each coated chicken breast into the breadcrumb and cheese mixture, ensuring an even and thick coating on each side.

            Place the coated chicken breasts on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper to prevent sticking.

              Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F/74°C) and the crust is golden brown.

                Remove from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

                    - Presentation Tips: Serve the chicken on a rustic wooden platter garnished with lemon wedges and a sprinkle of fresh parsley. Pair it with a side of roasted vegetables or a simple green salad for a complete meal.
