FAQ

Can I use grated Parmesan instead of shredded?
Yes, but the topping will be denser and less textured.

Can I add spices?
Paprika, Italian seasoning, or onion powder all work well.

Can I make this with chicken thighs?
Absolutely—adjust the baking time as needed until they reach 165°F.

Will the mayo taste strong?
No—once baked, it becomes creamy and mild, blending into the Parmesan crust.
