Ingredients

• 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
• 0.5 cup mayonnaise
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.

Step 2

In a small bowl, mix the shredded cheddar cheese, panko breadcrumbs, and garlic powder until well combined.

Step 3

Spread a thin layer of mayonnaise evenly over both sides of each chicken breast.

Step 4

Press each mayo-coated chicken breast into the cheese and breadcrumb mixture, firmly pressing to ensure an even coating.

Step 5

Place the coated chicken breasts on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each piece to allow crisping.

Step 6

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and the coating is golden brown and crispy.

Step 7

Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
