Ingredients
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 cup mayonnaise
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon salt
Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a baking dish or line it with parchment paper.
- Prepare the Coating Mixture: In a medium bowl, mix together the mayonnaise, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, black pepper, and salt until smooth and well combined.
- Coat the Chicken: Arrange the chicken breasts in the prepared baking dish. Spread the mayonnaise mixture evenly over each chicken breast.
- Bake the Chicken: Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the top is golden brown. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C).
- Garnish and Serve: Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before garnishing with fresh chopped parsley. Serve warm.
Notes
For a richer flavor, use chicken thighs instead of breasts.
You can prepare the chicken ahead of time and refrigerate it before baking.
If the top browns too quickly, cover loosely with foil and remove the foil during the last few minutes of baking.
