Parmesan Panko Chicken is the Easiest Chicken recipe this year!

Hey I’m back with another weeknight delight for you guys! Parmesan Panko Chicken is easy and fast which is why you will love adding it to you weekday rotation. It pairs well with any kind of fresh salad plus this tasty chicken is great with roasted veggies.

This Parmesan Panko Chicken is bursting with rich cheese and herb flavor. The key in this recipe is to use a quality freshly grated Parmesan cheese. There really isn’t a substitute for it and please don’t get me going on the stuff in the green can! Use fresh herbs if you can too! The difference in freshly grated cheese and fresh herbs from dried is huge! Give it try!

Swaps & Specs:

• This main dish protein is perfect for weekday suppers because once you prep it, the chicken goes in the oven and bakes off for about 30 minutes. How easy is that?

• The mayo and cheese layer keeps the chicken moist locked in. Do not skip!

• Using panko bread crumbs makes this dish extra crunchy! Other options to use are day old bread, crushed pork rinds, crushed croutons, crushed corn flakes, crushed crackers or crushed chips.

• Switch the protein up! Use turkey cutlets or boneless pork chops.

• Use a Salt free Garlic & Herb Seasoning. McCormick has a good one. Tone’s has another one. Both are easily available at your local Walmart.

• Pro tip: use similar sized chicken breasts so that the chicken all has the same cook times.

• This dish can also be made by pan searing in a shallow frying pan with a small amount of oil. Cook over medium-high heat until golden brown and juices run clear.

• Change the flavor profile by swapping the Italian flavored panko for plain panko bread crumbs and Italian herbs for Cajun seasoning. Mix it in the bread crumbs and mayo mixture.
