  • Author: Scarlet johnson

Ingredients

Scale

Here’s what you’ll need to create this easy and delicious dish:

  • Chicken Breasts: 4 boneless, skinless pieces (about 1½ pounds total)
  • Mayonnaise or Greek Yogurt: ½ cup
  • Grated Parmesan Cheese: ½ cup
  • Seasonings:

    • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
    • 1 teaspoon onion powder
    • ½ teaspoon paprika
    • ½ teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
    • Salt and pepper to taste

  • Optional Garnish: Chopped fresh parsley for serving

Instructions

Step-by-Step Preparation

  1. Preheat the Oven:
    Set your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a baking dish with cooking spray or a drizzle of olive oil to prevent sticking.
  2. Prepare the Chicken:
    Pat the chicken breasts dry with a paper towel. Season both sides with a light sprinkle of salt and pepper.
  3. Make the Coating:
    In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise (or Greek yogurt), Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and Italian seasoning. Mix until well blended into a thick, creamy paste.
  4. Coat the Chicken:
    Place the chicken breasts in the prepared baking dish. Spread the creamy mixture evenly over the top of each piece, ensuring it’s fully coated.
  5. Bake:
    Bake the chicken in the preheated oven for 25–30 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). The topping should turn golden brown and slightly bubbly.
  6. Serve:
    Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley if desired, and serve alongside your favorite sides.
