Description

A creamy, tender, and flavorful baked chicken dish topped with a savory mayonnaise-parmesan mixture, perfect for easy dinners.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a baking dish.
  2. In a small bowl, mix together the mayonnaise, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper until well combined.
  3. Place the chicken breasts in the baking dish.
  4. Spread the mayonnaise mixture evenly over the top of each chicken breast.
  5. Bake uncovered for 35–40 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (75°C) and the topping is golden and bubbly.
  6. Let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • Use Greek yogurt instead of mayonnaise for a lighter version.
  • Add herbs like thyme, rosemary, or parsley for extra flavor.
  • Include shredded mozzarella for a cheesier crust.
