Ingredients
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup mayonnaise (or plain Greek yogurt for a lighter version)
- ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- Optional: ½ teaspoon paprika or Italian seasoning (for topping)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper.
- Pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness of about ¾ inch for uniform cooking.
- In a medium bowl, mix the mayonnaise (or Greek yogurt), Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper until smooth.
- Spread the mixture evenly over the top of each chicken breast, making sure to cover the entire surface.
- Place the chicken in the prepared baking dish and sprinkle the optional paprika or Italian seasoning on top.
- Bake uncovered for 35-45 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and the top is golden.
- Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving to ensure maximum juiciness.
Notes
For added flavor, marinate the chicken in the seasoning mix for a few hours before baking. Broil for the last 2-3 minutes for a crispy top.
