Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise (or Greek yogurt)
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley (optional for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Make the Creamy Coating: In a bowl, mix the mayonnaise, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper until well combined.
- Prepare the Chicken: Place the chicken breasts in a baking dish and spread the creamy Parmesan mixture evenly over the top of each piece.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
- Optional Broil: For a crispier top, broil the chicken for the last 2-3 minutes of baking.
- Serve: Garnish with fresh parsley if desired and serve hot.
Notes
Use Greek yogurt instead of mayonnaise for a tangier, lower-calorie version. Broil for 2-3 minutes at the end for a golden, crispy crust. Pairs perfectly with roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a fresh side salad.
