Tips to make the Best Parmesan Crusted Chicken
- Prepare Chicken: You need Boneless chicken breast. If it's too thick, cut it horizontally into cutlets. This is to ensure uniform cooking.
- 1 st Mayonnaise coating: Recipes in general call for egg coating. I have tried both egg and mayo coating. Though egg coating works, I found a coating of mayo gives extra richness and keeps chicken super moist. I have added a dash of sriracha to mayo for an extra kick. If you are following Keto, use keto-friendly Mayonnaise.
- 2nd coating is of parmesan. For the cheese to stick well, use grated cheese rather than shredded. You could use a zester or fine grater to grate the cheese. Add some Italian seasoning to the cheese for some flavor.
