Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup breadcrumbs (plain or seasoned)
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 loaf of Italian or French bread, sliced
- 2 tablespoons melted butter (optional, for brushing)
Instructions
- Prepare the Chicken: Slice the chicken breasts into thin strips or small pieces. Combine with breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper in a large bowl. Mix well.
- Mix the Ingredients: Ensure all ingredients are well mixed. Adjust the amount of breadcrumbs if necessary to achieve the right consistency.
- Assemble the Bread: Preheat oven to 375Β°F (190Β°C). Spread the chicken mixture evenly onto each slice of bread, covering the entire surface. Brush with melted butter if desired.
- Bake the Chicken Bread: Place the bread slices on a baking sheet and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and the chicken mixture is cooked through (internal temperature of the chicken should reach 165Β°F or 74Β°C). Let it cool slightly before serving.
