Ingredients

  • ½ cup mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • ½ teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt
  • ½ teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
  • 16 ounces chicken breast
  • 1 ½ cups freshly grated Parmesan
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ¼ cup avocado oil or oil spray

Instructions

  • In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise, mustard, thyme, salt, and pepper.
  • Coat the chicken with the mayonnaise mixture. Allow the chicken to sit for at least 15 minutes- If possible, do this up to one day ahead of time.
  • Place the parmesan and baking powder in a shallow dish and stir to combine. Dredge the chicken in the cheese mixture, pressing the cheese into the make.

Oven

  • Preheat the oven to 450°F.
  • Put an oven-safe wire rack over a baking sheet.
  • Spray the chicken with oil.
  • Arrange the chicken on the wire rack and bake for 18 to 22 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the chicken is cooked through and an instant-read thermometer registers 160° F.
  • Allow to rest for 10 minutes before serving.

Stove Top

  • Heat oil in a heavy-duty skillet.
  • Add the chicken, and cook for 10 to 12 minutes, flipping when a parmesan crust is golden brown. Remove from the pan when an instant-read thermometer registers 160° F.
  • Allow to rest for 10 minutes prior to serving.

Air Fryer

  • Preheat the air fryer to 375° F. Line your air fryer with an air fryer liner.
  • Spray the chicken with oil and arrange in a single layer in the air fryer.
  • Cook for 15 to 18 minutes, until the chicken is golden brown and an instant-read thermometer registers 160° F.
