1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 cup mayonnaise

Instructions

Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
Prepare Breading Stations: Set up three shallow bowls: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with a mixture of bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
Coat Chicken: Dredge each chicken breast in the flour, shaking off any excess. Dip it in the beaten eggs, then coat it thoroughly with the bread crumb mixture, pressing to adhere.
Bake Chicken: Place the breaded chicken breasts on the prepared baking sheet. In a small bowl, mix the mayonnaise and Dijon mustard together, then spread a thin layer over each piece of chicken.
Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through, with an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Serve: Remove from the oven and let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your crispy and delicious baked breaded chicken with your favorite sides.
