A delightful twist on a classic chicken bake, featuring a savory onion topping and a crispy breadcrumb crust.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Always preheat the oven to ensure even cooking.
Slice the onions into thin rings and set aside.
Use a sharp knife to achieve even slices.
In a mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise, garlic powder, and paprika.
Mix thoroughly to ensure the spices are evenly distributed.
Place the chicken breasts in a baking dish and spread the mayonnaise mixture evenly over them.
Coat the chicken completely for maximum flavor.
Top the chicken with the sliced onions, spreading them out evenly.
Ensure the onions cover the chicken for even cooking.
Sprinkle the breadcrumbs over the onions, then dot with small pieces of butter.
Press the breadcrumbs lightly to help them adhere.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the topping is golden brown.
Check the chicken's internal temperature to ensure it's fully cooked.
Serve the chicken hot, garnished with fresh parsley if desired.
Pair with a side of steamed vegetables or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
