Parmesan Crusted Chicken

This is quickly becoming a new favorite recipe for me because it's simple and doesn't require a lot of prep work. I found the recipe a couple years ago while perusing a magazine at work. It was a Hellman's mayo ad for Parmesan Crusted Chicken.

Preheat oven to 425.

In a bowl mix 1/2 c. mayo or Miracle Whip and 1/4 c. parmesan cheese (I just use the Kraft or store brand parmesan chese).. You can also add some italian seasoning and garlic to this mix. In a bag, mix 1 c. bread crumbs, a bit of italian seasoning, and crushed red pepper (I use crushed red pepper in as much as I can because I like the kick it provides). Coat defrosted boneless skinless chicken breasts in the mayo mixture, put into bag of bread crumbs, shake til covered and put on backing sheet. Repeat for remaining chicken breasts. Bake for 30-40 minutes.

The recipe says 20 minutes, but I've always found meat to need 10-20 more minutes than a recipe says.

Bon Appetit!

Once again, I wish I had a picture but alas, the camera is broke and I'm still researching what I want for a camera. This could take awhile as I go from wanting a nice DSLR to a cheaper option that still has DSLR features but doesn't cost a small fortune.... Someday I'll make up my mind.
