How To Make pine nut and parmesan-crusted chicken

Step 1

In a small bowl, combine Panko, pine nuts, Parmesan, garlic, oil, salt and pepper.

Combine mayonnaise and basil in second bowl.

Pat the chicken dry with paper towels and transfer to a 13x9" baking dish. Spread mayo mixture evenly over top of chicken breasts. Sprinkle the Panko mixture over mayo, pressing lightly to adhere.

Bake uncovered in a preheated 450-degree oven on an upper-middle rack until crumbs are golden brown and chicken is tender, about 25-30 minutes.
