Notes

Use Thin Chicken Breasts: If your chicken breasts are thick, consider slicing them in half or pounding them to ensure even cooking.
Add Breadcrumbs: Sprinkle breadcrumbs on top of the mayo mixture for an extra crunchy topping.
Make It Spicy: Add a pinch of cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes for a bit of heat.
