Chicken and mayonnaise?

Every time I see the commercial where the woman puts a dab of mayonnaise on her chicken I am always slightly disgusted. It sounds pretty gross to top chicken with mayonnaise. Tonight, with hesitation I tried this recipe. In all honesty, it was pretty delicious.

Parmesan crusted chicken

4 boneless chicken breast. If the breasts are too large(no giggling), slice them in half or butterfly them
1/3c shredded Parmesan cheese
1/2c mayonnaise(I used low fat)
1/4c Italian breadcrumbs (I used panko)
salt and pepper

Preheat oven to 425
Mix the shredded cheese and mayonnaise in a bowl. Spread this mixture on the chicken breast in a thin layer. Then sprinkle with breadcrumbs and bake for about 20 minutes. I also broiled the chicken on the middle rack for about 5 minutes afterwards. I served this with smashed potatoes and salad.
