Ingredients
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (thin or halved)
½ cup mayonnaise (or plain Greek yogurt/sour cream)
½ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
1 tsp garlic powder
½ tsp seasoned salt (or a mix of salt + smoked paprika)
¼ tsp ground black pepper
Optional garnish: chopped parsley or paprika
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 °F. Lightly grease a baking dish and arrange the chicken breasts in a single layer.
- In a bowl, combine mayonnaise, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, seasoned salt, and pepper to form a creamy topping.
- Spread the mixture evenly over the chicken breasts.
- Bake for 40–45 minutes or until internal temperature reaches 165 °F and the topping is golden brown.
- Optional: Broil for the last 2–3 minutes for a crispier, golden topping.
- Garnish with chopped parsley or a sprinkle of paprika and serve hot.
Notes
Substitute mayo with Greek yogurt or sour cream for a tangy twist.
Use chicken thighs instead, adjusting the baking time as needed.
Add paprika, onion powder, or chili flakes for extra flavor.
Broiling adds a golden crust but is optional.
Use a meat thermometer to ensure chicken is fully cooked.
