Does a simple, delicious, budget friendly, one pan chicken dish sound like something you’d be interested in?!?!

If so, then today is your lucky day, friends.

I would say it’s on the semi healthy side too.

I mean, yes, there’s some mayo and cheese.

But it’s baked so that makes up for it, right ?! 😉

How to make Crispy Garlic Parmesan Chicken

The sauce is a mix of mayo, grated parmesan cheese, garlic paste, kosher salt, and pepper.

Whisk the sauce together and spread it evenly over 4 thin cut chicken breasts on a lined baking sheet.

If you can’t find thin cut chicken breasts you can slice each regular size piece in half lengthwise, creating 2 thin chicken breasts.

Next up is a Tbsp of panko bread crumbs over each.

Press the panko slightly into the sauce to make sure it sticks.

Baking Crispy Garlic Parmesan Chicken

Place this in a 400 degree oven for 15 minutes.

Turn the broiler on high during the last 2 minutes to brown the topping.

For something so simple and easy, this dish is BIG on flavor.

The creamy, cheesy sauce goes perfectly with the chicken.

And the panko gives the perfect crunch factor.

Using the lined baking sheet made clean up super easy 🙂

We had our Crispy Garlic Parmesan Chicken with the boxed mac and cheese and Air Fryer Lemon Parmesan Broccoli.

The kids devoured everything…yes, including the broccoli 😉

This was even good as leftovers, the creamy sauce helped keep the chicken extra juicy.

Even after being warmed up in the microwave.
