Can I make Hellmann's Parmesan Crusted Chicken Recipe ahead of time?

Yes! You can prep the mayo-Parmesan mixture and coat the chicken up to 8 hours ahead. Store it covered in the fridge and bake when ready.

Can I use light mayo or another brand?

Absolutely. Light mayo works fine, but the texture may be slightly less rich. Other mayo brands can work too, but Hellmann’s gives the most consistent results.

Which cut of chicken works best for this recipe?

Boneless, skinless chicken breasts are ideal. You can also use thighs, but adjust the cook time since they’re usually smaller and fattier.

How do I know the chicken is done without drying it out?

Use a meat thermometer. Chicken is done at 165°F. If you don’t have one, slice into the thickest part, juices should run clear and the meat should be white, not pink.
