This delicious chicken dish can be made in just a few minutes and takes less than 30 minutes to bake.  Served with a side  of vegetables makes for a healthy delicious meal.  Shown here with Parmesan Zucchini.

3 chicken breasts (about 5 oz. breasts)  (Picture only shows 4 – but there is plenty of topping for 6 fillets.)

Preheat oven to 425 degrees.

Cut each chicken breast in half the long way.  This will give you 6 fillets.

Lay chicken fillets in a shallow casserole pan.  I lined the pan with parchment paper for easy clean up.

1/2 cup low fat mayonnaise

1/4 cup fresh grated parmesan cheese

1 tsp. garlic granules

pepper (to taste)

Mix mayo, parmesan cheese, garlic granules and pepper.

Spread mixture evenly over each chicken fillet.

4 tsp. italian bread crumbs

Sprinkle italian bread crumbs over all.

Bake for 20 minutes in 425 degrees oven.

Move chicken to the upper rack and broil for a few minutes to make a nicely browned crust.
