21 Day Fix Crispy Parmesan Chicken

One thing I *love* about the 21 Day Fix is how much amazing food I get to eat. Like this 21 Day Fix Crispy Parmesan Chicken.
Add one piece at a time to the Parmesan mixture and coat thoroughly (if your Parmesan is in a bag, add one piece at a time and shake until covered).
Cover a large shallow pan (we used a cookie sheet with edges) with foil and add the pieces so they do not touch.


Ingredients
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, sliced into strips (we sliced each breast into three strips)
  • 2 T and 2 tsp mayo
  • 1 cup Parmesan cheese, grated very fine (a 12oz block of Parmesan will be about 1 cup)
  • 1/2 tsp Paprika
  • 1/8 tsp pepper
  • 1/2 tsp salt



Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 425.
  2. Cut your Parmesan (about 12oz worth) into 1" chunks and run through your food processor until very finely ground. You could also grate the cheese - just remember that you are looking for the tiniest flakes possible.
  3. In a bowl, mix together the Parmesan, paprika, salt, and pepper. (Alternately, you could also toss these ingredients into a gallon-size Ziplock bag.)
  4. Place your chicken in a separate bowl. Add the mayo and toss until the chicken is covered evenly in mayonnaise. It should all have a light coating.
  5. Add one piece at a time to the Parmesan mixture and coat thoroughly (if your Parmesan is in a bag, add one piece at a time and shake until covered).
  6. Cover a large shallow pan (we used a cookie sheet with edges) with foil and add the pieces so they do not touch.
  7. Bake 20-25 minutes in a preheated 425 degree oven until golden brown and tender. Every oven is different - start checking to see if they're done around 20 minutes.
