A delightful twist on a classic chicken dish, featuring a crispy onion and breadcrumb crust.
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Preheating ensures even cooking and a crispy crust.
In a shallow bowl, mix the mayonnaise, garlic powder, and paprika until well combined.
Use a whisk to ensure the spices are evenly distributed in the mayonnaise.
In another bowl, combine the crispy fried onions and panko breadcrumbs.
Crush the fried onions slightly for a finer texture.
Coat each chicken breast with the mayonnaise mixture, then press into the onion and breadcrumb mixture to coat evenly.
Ensure the chicken is fully coated for maximum flavor and crunch.
Place the coated chicken breasts in a baking dish and bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the crust is golden brown.
Use a meat thermometer to check that the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C).
Serve the crispy onion-crusted chicken hot with your favorite sides.
Garnish with fresh parsley for a pop of color and added flavor.
