❓ Frequently Asked Questions About Chicken Mayo Parmesan
1. Can I use chicken thighs instead of breasts?
Yes you can. Chicken thighs will work just fine. They may need a few extra minutes in the oven because they are a bit thicker and darker meat. Just make sure they reach an internal temperature of 165 degrees F.
2. Do I need to flip the chicken while baking?
No you do not need to flip the chicken. The mayo parmesan topping stays on top and bakes into a nice crust. Flipping would just make a mess.
3. Can I add other cheeses to this recipe?
Absolutely. You can mix in some mozzarella or provolone for a different flavor. Just keep the total amount of cheese the same so the topping stays thick enough.
4. Is this recipe gluten free?
Yes this recipe is naturally gluten free as long as your mayonnaise and parmesan cheese are certified gluten free. Always check the labels to be sure.
5. How do I store leftovers?
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or microwave until warmed through.
