This is a 30 minute meal that is very delicious and easy. I got this recipe from Cook's Country by the same people as Cook's Illustrated (America's Test Kitchen) They usually don't let me down. Ingredients:
1 cup fresh breadcrumb |
1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese |
3 garlic cloves, minced |
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
pepper |
4 chicken breasts, boneless, skinless, trimmed (6 to 7 ounces each) |
1/4 cup minced fresh basil |
1/4 cup mayonnaise |
lemon wedge (for serving) |
Directions:
1. Adjust oven rack to upper-middle position and heat oven to 425°F Combine bread crumbs, Parmesan, garlic, oil, salt, and pepper to taste in bowl.
2. Pat chicken dry with paper towels and transfer to 13x9 inch baking dish. Combine basil and mayonnaise in small bowl and spread mixture evenly over chicken. Sprinkle bread-crumb mixture over mayonnaise, pressing lightly to adhere.
3. Bake until crumbs are golden brown and instant-read thermometer inserted in thickest part of chicken registers 160°F 18-22 minutes. Serve with lemon wedges.
