Ingredients

• 4 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 0.5 cup Mayonnaise
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 2 cups French-fried onions (store-bought)
• 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
• 1 as needed Olive oil or nonstick cooking spray

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease a baking sheet with olive oil or line it with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a small bowl, combine salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Season both sides of the chicken breasts with this spice mixture.

Step 3

In another bowl, mix the mayonnaise and Dijon mustard until well combined. Spread this mixture evenly over the top of each chicken breast.

Step 4

Place the French-fried onions in a resealable plastic bag and crush them lightly using a rolling pin. Mix the crushed onions with the grated Parmesan cheese in a shallow dish.

Step 5

Press the mayonnaise-coated side of each chicken breast into the onion and Parmesan mixture until well coated. Place the chicken breasts on the prepared baking sheet with the crusted side facing up.

Step 6

Bake the chicken in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the crust is golden brown and crispy.

Step 7

Remove from the oven and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy your Onion Crusted Chicken with your favorite sides like roasted vegetables or mashed potatoes.
