Brainy Oven Baked Chicken encrusted with Parmesan...

 

 

On a quaint garden terrace in Italy, someone is having the same dinner as you are...

 

For this dish, you will need to buy a package of boneless/skinless chicken breasts (as many per person), fresh grated Parmesan cheese, mayonnaise, dried herbs and olive oil. 

 

Turn on your oven to F375. Take out a glass baking dish. Drizzle olive oil in the bottom and lay in your chicken breasts. Drizzle olive oil across the top of each, also sprinkle on garlic powder, dried herbs and a bit of salt. 

Slide the chicken into the oven to bake for about 10-12 min. depending on the number of breasts used. I also like to pour in after the first 6 min. 1/4 cup of chicken stock and pop back into the oven for another 4-6 min.

 

After that time, remove the chicken breasts from oven and gently squeeze/spoon mayonnaise over the top coating each one also coating each with fine Parmesan cheese (from a shaker table top container) and then a handful of fresh grated Parmesan cheese finishing with a generous sprinkle of dried herbs: rosemary, mint, and oregano. Bake in the oven uncovered for about 15 min. depending on thickness and number of the breasts used.

As for the side dish, prepare your favorite pasta or potato mash or just a salad.

Today, I served with spinach infused tagliatelle pasta...
