As I’m sure most of you can relate, we get into dinner funks around these parts. I start cooking the same stuff week after week, for the sake of ease and also for the sake of not listening to complaints from the peanut gallery if I can be honest. My kids eat pretty well, it’s something I work on with them, but they have their favorites and we often tend to stick with lots of variations of their favorites (pasta, pasta, broccoli, and pasta…chicken).

Hellmann’s recently contacted me about their Chicken Change Up Campaign and I have to say, I thought the timing was quite appropriate. I needed something new to try out on the kids, and the Parmesan Crusted Chicken recipe stood out to me as something everyone would enjoy.

I was right.

I prepared it almost exactly as the Hellmann’s Chicken recipe was written, however I couldn’t help myself to add in a teaspoon of lemon pepper seasoning. I got flustered while reading the recipe and accidentally combined the breadcrumbs into the mayonnaise and cheese mixture instead of just coating it…oops. I added a few extra breadcrumbs on top for good measure (and a little extra crunch, by the way…I used panko instead of traditional style breadcrumbs).

I had a little less chicken than the recipe called for so I tossed some red potato chunks in the leftover parmesan-mayo-lemon pepper mixture and roasted them up…they turned out awesome. The chicken and potatoes were served with ole reliable, roasted broccoli.

I must admit, I wasn’t planning on eating a whole lot of this chicken, just a few bites, only because chicken really is my least favorite protein. I was more excited about the sides. I ended up eating an entire piece. And my kids finished their whole pieces too.

As a matter of fact, he kids gave it a “10”.

The actual breakdown was this: Chicken – 10, Potatoes – 8 and the Broccoli – a 50!! Sammy: “…because Mom, you know how I feel about broccoli!!”

I know, bizarro! (but can’t help but be HAPPY about that one!)

Dinner turned out a little extra delicious with the help of mayonnaise as an interesting ingredient in this recipe for Parmesan-Lemon Pepper Crusted Hellmann’s Chicken. 


Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup Hellmann’s or Best Foods Real Mayonnaise (I prefer and used Light)
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 11.25 lb boneless chicken breast
  • 1/4 cup panko seasoned with 1 teaspoon lemon pepper seasoning

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
  2. Combine Hellman’s or Best Foods mayonnaise with cheese in a bowl. Place chicken on a lightly greased baking sheet. Top your chicken evenly with mayonnaise and cheese mixture, then coat with lemon pepper seasoned panko crumbs.
  3. Bake 20 minutes or until chicken is cooked through. I put the broiler on low for the last few minutes to get my coating a little more crisp.
  4. Toss the potatoes in any leftover cheese and mayo mixture and bake for the same amount of time at 425 degrees. Check halfway through and toss around to ensure even baking.

  1. Hello, I found your blog through At Home With Kim! Love your blog and your recipes look easy and fabulous. I am on a journey of health and weight loss and am hoping to find some healthy recipes to try. New follower through RSS!

  2. Aggie this sounds yummy and love that its so easy! I love lemon pepper actually have some coming in the mail in a few days.

  3. It seems commercials do sell when done right! Same thing happened to me and we’ve tried it on chicken and also salmon. Both were beyond excellent and my hubby loves it so much I’m afraid it could become Chicken Thursday around our house! Love the idea of the lemon pepper. I added garlic to mine. Adore the idea of coating up pieces of potato. Will try that next time. I used some of the leftover spread on a sandwich, but Ilike your idea of roasting the potatoes so much more!

    I’ve never roasted broccoli. Do you put it in at the same time as the chicken and potatoes?

  4. This look awesome and I’ve got some Hellman’s in the fridge, will try it soon!
