Ingredients For Recipe
Boneless Chicken – You will need boneless chicken for this recipe. I used chicken breast but you are welcome to use boneless chicken thighs or anything else.
Mayonnaise – Any brand of mayo works, I have not tried Miracle Whip so I can’t say if it will work or not. Feel free to try if that is what you prefer.
Parmesan – I recommend using freshly grated parmesan for this recipe. It is going to offer you the best texture, and will give your chicken a cheesy texture unlike the powder parmesan.
Seasonings – Salt, pepper, and garlic powder are what I used for flavoring the chicken. Simple and easy but feel free to change up the ingredients you use to flavor.
Parsley – Parsley is optional but it adds some presentation value and a bit of flavor to the chicken. This is up to you if you choose to add it on or not.
