Where to find ingredients
You can find these staples at local grocers like Loblaws, Sobeys, or FreshCo. Choose the meat aisle for your chicken, and the dairy/pantry sections for the cheese, mayonnaise, and margarine. If you're looking for a substitute for margarine, unsalted butter works well for the same richness, though stick to the original for the intended texture.
Preparation method
- Start by prepping the chicken: rinse the pieces thoroughly and pat them dry with paper towels.
- Season the chicken pieces with salt, pepper, garlic, and your preferred spices.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise, grated onion, grated parmesan, and breadcrumbs.
- Stir everything together until you have a smooth, consistent paste.
- Grease a baking sheet or roasting pan with a little bit of margarine.
- Arrange the seasoned chicken pieces in the pan in a single layer, ensuring they do not overlap.
- Coat each piece of chicken with the mayonnaise and cheese paste, spreading it evenly to cover the surface.
- Distribute the cubed margarine over the top of the topping on each chicken piece.
- This helps the chicken achieve a perfect golden color and adds an extra layer of flavor.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 200°C (400°F) for approximately 40 to 50 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the topping is golden and crisp.
- Note that cooking time may vary depending on your oven and the size of the chicken pieces.
