I personally prefer chicken thighs due to better flavor and more tender meat; having said that, you can definitely make this recipe with chicken breast, and it will be equally terrific. Mayonnaise. I prefer Hellman's mayo for this recipe. I tried other brands of good quality mayo such as Dukes and did not get this great crust I achieve with the Hellmann's. Parmesan cheese. I have cooked this parmesan-crusted chicken recipe with the most amazing Parmigiano I found. But I have also used domestic parmesan from my supermarket. I liked it both ways. The authentic Italian Parmigiano wins, but the conventional brand did pretty well and is more economical. Dried chili flakes. For a nice kick. They are totally optional. If that is not your cup of tea, feel free to omit them from the recipe. Season chicken with sea salt and pepper, and you are good to go. Detailed measurements and instructions can be found on the recipe card at the bottom of the page. How to make itThe first time we made this mayo chicken recipe, it was almost by accident. I saw an advertisement for a recipe spreading mayo on chicken breasts and sprinkling grated parmesan. I was intrigued, tried it, and I decided to make my own version. Instead of spreading the mayo on the chicken and following a sprinkle of cheese (like in the recipe I found), I mix equal parts of mayo and grated parmesan. Next, I add a tablespoon of dried chili flakes. Lay the chicken thighs on your pan—season with sea salt and pepper. Fold the thigh edges under to create a more tidy, round look. Spread a full tablespoon of the cheese mayo mix on each chicken thigh and bake in a 380F oven for 40 minutes. A perfect parmesan-crusted chicken dinner is ready and on the table.

I like to bake chicken thighs at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 35 to 40 minutes long.
What temperature should I bake boneless skinless chicken thighs?Whether they're on a sheet pan, in a skillet, or in a saucy marinade, the best temperature for cooking boneless, skinless chicken thighs in the oven is between 400°F and 450°F, with 425°F being the temperature we rely on most often.
Why does mayonnaise keep chicken moist?Most recipes use butter or oil for cooking chicken, but mayo is the better fat option when it comes to producing juicy chicken. While it cooks, the chicken will absorb fat from the egg and oil in the mayo, keeping it moist while adding flavor.
