Parmesan Crusted Chicken

This was an amazing yummy recipe!

4 boneless chicken breasts (the thinner the better and easier to work with)
2 T olive oil
2 Large eggs
Salt and pepper for seasoning
1 t of onion powder
1 t of garlic powder
1 t of adobe seasoning
1 T of parsley
1 cup of bread crumbs (I used gluten free)
1 cup of grated parmesan
1/2 cup of mayo (I used part greek yogurt and part mayo)

Preheat oven to 400.

Brush chicken on both sides with olive oil.  Salt and Pepper both sides

In a small bowl beat the two eggs, then add in the garlic, onion, and adobe powder and parsley.

In a separate bowl add the breadbrumbs.

In a 3rd bowl mix the parmesan and mayo/greekyogurt.

Coat chicken with mayo/cheese mixture one both sides, pat it on tight.

Dip the chicken in the egg mixture then coat with bread crumbs.  Place in a pan that is coated in pam or oil...make sure not to layer the chicken on top of each other. Bake for 15 minutes, then flip and bake for 15 to 30 more (will depend on the thinkness of chicken).
