Main Ingredients

  • 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts lean protein with a tender texture
  • 1 cup mayonnaise moisture and creaminess
  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese adds savory depth
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder enhances flavor
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder adds subtle sweetness
  • 1 teaspoon paprika provides mild warmth and color
  • ½ teaspoon salt enhances overall flavor
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper adds a gentle kick
  • 1 teaspoon dried parsley optional, for garnish

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Preheat your oven to 375°F.
  • In a mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Stir until smooth.
  • Place the chicken breasts in a baking dish in a single layer.
  • Spoon the mayonnaise mixture over the chicken breasts, ensuring they are evenly coated.

Cooking

  • Bake the chicken in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until cooked through and golden.
  • Let the chicken rest for about 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

Serve alongside a green salad or mashed potatoes. Leftovers are great cold in sandwiches or chopped over salads. For best results, allow chicken to rest before cutting.
