Reading Time: 3 minutes

A few years ago, I found a Hellmann’s mayonnaise recipe online that looked really good. I’m glad I gave it a try because it has become one of my family’s favorite meals. I’ve tweaked it a little, and of course, I now use my easy homemade mayonnaise. This is a meal that doesn’t require much prep work (besides making homemade mayo ahead of time), and it comes together in literally 10 minutes, and bakes for about 20 minutes. This is a great 30-minute meal!

I always change up the recipes I find to make them “better,” in my opinion – and also healthier. As Ernie always jokingly asks, “Do you ever follow a recipe?” Nope. Not really. 😛

Therefore, this main dish is gluten-free, very low-carb, and includes good fats from the almond flour and homemade mayo. If you’ve never made your own mayo before, I beg you to give it a try. I never even liked mayo before I tried homemade, and now I lick the sides of the food processor! By the way, it only takes about 10 minutes. Instead of breadcrumbs, we now use almond flour for the “crust.” Want to make your own almond flour? It’s sooooo easy! Check it out here on one of my Facebook posts (I’ll be making a blog post about this later)…

Preheat the oven to 425°F. Yep, that’s pretty hot!

Slice your whole chicken breasts into about 3 pieces, as shown below, removing the fat if you desire. Save the raw scraps for your dog! I slice once to cut off the big thick piece, leaving the smaller piece remaining, and then once again to butterfly.

In a small bowl, mix up the mayo and Parmesan cheese.

In another bowl, mix together the almond flour, salt, basil, and oregano. Then, sprinkle that mixture on top of the mayo on each piece of chicken until it is all used.

Bake for 20 minutes until they are golden and the chicken is cooked.

The chicken should be juicy and the topping should be a little crusty. One time, I had to broil them for a few minutes to get them brown.

We love it served with zoodles (zucchini noodles) and marinara sauce.
