Ingredients

Scale

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 cup mayonnaise
- Substitute with plain Greek yogurt for a healthier option
½ cup grated parmesan cheese
1 teaspoon seasoned salt
½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 teaspoon garlic powder

Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C)
Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper

2. Mix the Creamy Topping

In a medium bowl, combine:
- 1 cup mayonnaise (or Greek yogurt)
- ½ cup parmesan cheese
- Seasoned salt, black pepper, and garlic powder
Mix until smooth and well combined

3. Prepare the Chicken

Pat the chicken breasts dry using paper towels
Place them evenly in the prepared baking dish

4. Spread the Topping

Use a spatula or spoon to evenly coat the top of each chicken breast with the creamy parmesan mixture

5. Bake to Perfection

Bake uncovered for 45 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the top is golden brown

6. Rest and Serve

Allow the chicken to rest for 5 minutes before serving to lock in the juices

Notes

Adjust seasoning to taste if using reduced-sodium parmesan or salt
Greek yogurt makes the recipe tangier and lighter
Leftovers make excellent sandwich or wrap fillings
