Ingredients
-
1 lb (450 g) boneless, skinless chicken breasts
-
⅔ cup (160 ml) mayonnaise
-
½ cup (50 g) shredded Parmesan cheese
-
1 tsp (5 g) garlic powder
-
1 tsp (5 g) seasoned salt
-
½ tsp (2.5 g) black pepper
Instructions
-
Preheat the Oven
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). -
Mix the Topping
In a small bowl, stir together mayonnaise, shredded Parmesan, garlic powder, seasoned salt, and black pepper until smooth. -
Prepare the Chicken
Place the chicken breasts in a baking dish in a single layer. -
Apply the Mixture
Evenly spread the creamy mayo mixture over the top of each chicken breast. -
Bake
Bake for 40–45 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the top is golden and bubbly. -
Rest and Serve
Let rest for 5 minutes before serving to retain juiciness.
Notes
Swap mayo with Greek yogurt or sour cream for a tangier, lighter version.
Add a crunchy topping like crushed crackers or breadcrumbs before baking.
Use a meat thermometer to avoid overcooking—165°F is the sweet spot.
For even cooking, slice thick chicken breasts in half horizontally.
Great for leftovers: makes fantastic sandwiches or wraps the next day.
