Ingredients
Chicken
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
Topping
- 1 cup mayonnaise (or Greek yogurt for a healthier option)
- ½ cup parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon seasoning salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
Instructions
- In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise, Parmesan cheese, seasoning salt, black pepper, and garlic powder until smooth and well mixed.
- Spread the prepared mixture evenly over the top of each chicken breast to ensure full coverage.
- Place the coated chicken breasts into a baking dish. Bake in a preheated oven at 375 degrees Fahrenheit for 45 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit and is cooked through.
- Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest a few minutes before serving to allow juices to settle for maximum juiciness.
Notes
- You can substitute Greek yogurt for mayonnaise to reduce fat and add a tangy flavor.
- Use a meat thermometer to ensure the chicken is cooked perfectly to 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
- For added flavor, sprinkle fresh herbs like parsley or basil over the chicken before serving.
- If you prefer a crispier topping, you can broil the chicken for 2-3 minutes at the end of baking but watch carefully to avoid burning.
