  • Total Time: 45 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 cup mayonnaise (or plain Greek yogurt for a lighter option)
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • Fresh chopped parsley (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine mayonnaise (or Greek yogurt), Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, Italian seasoning, paprika, salt, and pepper until well blended.
  3. Place chicken breasts in the prepared baking dish and evenly spread the creamy mixture over each piece.
  4. Bake uncovered for 25–30 minutes, or until chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and the topping is golden and bubbly.
  5. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve hot with rice, roasted vegetables, or a crisp salad.

Notes

  • Use Greek yogurt for a lighter, lower-fat option.
  • Ensure the chicken is cooked to 165°F for safety and juiciness.
  • Serve immediately for best texture and flavor.
