Time
1 hour 35 minutes

Ingredients

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (6 ounces each)
  • Kosher salt (Diamond Crystal recommended; use less if using Morton or table salt)
  • 3/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried parsley
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 1/3 cup seasoned panko breadcrumbs or gluten-free panko
  • 2 tablespoons shredded Parmesan cheese
  • 1 lemon, cut into wedges
  • Olive oil spray

Method

  1. Pound the thick ends of the chicken breasts so each piece has an even thickness.
  2. Dissolve 1/4 cup Diamond Crystal kosher salt in 6 cups water. Refrigerate the chicken in the brine for 1 to 2 hours. If using table, sea, or Morton salt, use half as much.
  3. Remove the chicken, discard the brine, and pat the meat dry.
  4. Heat the oven to 425°F and coat a 9-by-12-inch baking dish with olive oil spray.
  5. Mix 3/4 teaspoon salt with the garlic powder, parsley, and paprika. Season the chicken and place it in the prepared dish.
  6. Spread mayonnaise over the top of each breast, then add the panko and Parmesan. Mist the topping with olive oil spray.
  7. Bake for 24 to 27 minutes, until the thickest part reaches 165°F. Serve with lemon wedges.
