Cheesy Baked Chicken

Chicken is a favorite in my house, so I am always trying to come up with new ways to make it.  I also have a few picky eaters which doesn't help either.  I went shopping in the pantry and pulled the fridge open, and with only three ingredients made the best, most moist chicken in all the land!  Recipe below.
To print the recipe, click on it, highlight and print.

I used light mayonnaise, save a little bit of calories when you can, it doesn't alter the taste, I also used grated cheese and plain breadcrumbs.
 Slather the mayo on each piece, then sprinkle on the breadcrumb mixture.
Bake for 45 minutes, and you have yourself some crispy, delicious, juicy chicken breasts.
 The mayo acts like a meat tenderizer, so no more dried out chicken breasts and they taste so good!
Cheesy Baked Chicken
Ingredients
Cooking Spray
2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1/4 cup light mayonnaise
1/2 cup plain breadcrumbs
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Directions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray a baking sheet with cooking spray.  With paper towels pat the chicken dry, absorb any water or juices.  Lay the chicken breasts on the baking sheet.  Divide the mayo between the two pieces and slater all over and around the sides of each piece.  In a small bowl, combine the breadcrumbs with the cheese and sprinkle all over the chicken.  Bake for 45 minutes, depending on the size of your pieces, juices should run clear when the chicken is done.

NOTE:  I only made 2 big chicken breasts, just up your ingredients for however many pieces you plan to cook.
