Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts Pound to even thickness
  • 1 cup mayonnaise or plain Greek yogurt For a lighter version, use Greek yogurt
  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon paprika or Italian seasoning Optional for topping

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9×13 inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper.
  2. Pound chicken breasts to an even thickness (about ¾ inch thick) for even cooking.
  3. In a medium bowl, mix together the mayonnaise, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper until smooth.
  4. Spread the mixture evenly on top of each chicken breast, covering the entire surface.
  5. Place chicken in the baking dish and sprinkle optional paprika or Italian seasoning on top.
Cooking
  1. Bake uncovered for 35–45 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and the top is golden and bubbly.
  2. Let rest for 5 minutes before serving for max juiciness.

Notes

Consider adding zest like lemon zest or hot sauce for a tangy kick.
