Easy Oven Fried Chicken

I think anything coated in mayonnaise then breadcrumbs – from fish to chicken – turns out moist, juicy and just wonderful. Today I cooked up an oven-fried chicken and my kids ate it so fast that I just had to share the recipe with you.

Now, this is not my recipe and I know there are a million versions floating around all over the Internet. If you know who first developed this chicken recipe, let me know and I’ll credit them. But for now, I hope you whip up this easy fried chicken for dinner and enjoy!

Oh! And if your looking to make this a MealDiva Approved dinner, be sure to serve it with some Oven Fries and Asparagus!

3. In another medium bowl, place the mayonnaise
