Ingredients
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- ½ cup mayonnaise (or Greek yogurt for a lighter option)
- ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp paprika
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ tsp black pepper
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Prepare the Sauce: In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise (or Greek yogurt), Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Stir until smooth and well mixed.
- Arrange the Chicken: Place the chicken breasts in a greased baking dish, ensuring they are in a single layer.
- Coat the Chicken: Spread the mayonnaise mixture evenly over each chicken breast.
- Bake: Bake for 25-30 minutes or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C) and the top is golden brown.
- Garnish and Serve: Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving for added freshness and flavor.
Notes
- Add Lemon: For a refreshing twist, add lemon zest or squeeze lemon juice over the chicken before baking.
- Herb Variations: Use thyme, rosemary, or basil in the sauce for an added herbal flavor.
- Spicy Option: Add crushed red pepper flakes or hot sauce for a little heat.
- Cheese Variations: Swap Parmesan for mozzarella or cheddar for a different cheesy flavor.
