1. Preheat Oven
Position your oven rack to the upper-middle level and preheat the oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit.
2. Combine Crumb Coating
In a mixing bowl, combine the fresh breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, extra virgin olive oil, table salt, and a generous helping of freshly ground black pepper.
3. Ready the Chicken
Use paper towels to pat the chicken breasts dry and arrange them in a 13 by 9-inch baking dish.
4. Create Herb Spread
Stir together the minced fresh basil and mayonnaise in a small bowl. Spread this flavorful herb mixture evenly across the tops of the chicken breasts.
5. Apply Crust
Generously sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture over the basil-mayo coated chicken, pressing the crumbs lightly to ensure they adhere.
6. Oven Magic
Bake the chicken in the preheated oven until the breadcrumb crust is golden brown and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the chicken reads 160 degrees Fahrenheit, which should take about 18 to 22 minutes.
7. Ready to Enjoy
Present your Herb-Crusted Parmesan Chicken Delight with fresh lemon wedges on the side for an extra zing.
