What you need for hellmann's parmesan crusted chicken

  • Parmesan Cheese: You can use store-bought shredded parmesan or grate it yourself for the best results. Don’t use powdery parmesan, it won’t melt on chicken. The best ways to grate the cheese is to use a microplane grater or food processor.
  • Flour: To make this recipe gluten free, use almond flour.
  • Hellmann’s mayo: If you can’t get hellmann’s mayonnaise, use any mayo available in your place. I prefer Hellmann’s mayo because I love its richness and salt level. It tastes like homemade mayo and is thicker than other brands available at the market.
  • Panko bread crumbs: Don’t skip on this! They make this mayo topping so delicious and crunchy.
  • Chicken: The recipe calls for boneless and skinless chicken breasts, but if you love darker meat, use chicken thighs for this hellmann’s parmesan crusted chicken. Thighs cook longer than chicken breasts. Be sure to pound them to get flat fillets.

How to prevent chicken from sticking to pan

To keep the parmesan coating from sticking to the pan, use a non-stick pan (or skillet).

Cook chicken for 4 minutes, untouched; push with a wooden spatula to check if the crust is golden. If  it is golden, flip using tongs and cook further for 3-4 minutes or until done.

  2. Place the chicken on the tray or baking sheet. Top with helman’s mayo mixture and panko bread crumbs.
