Main Ingredients

4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts Pound to an even thickness for uniform cooking.
1 cup mayonnaise Can substitute with plain Greek yogurt for a lighter option.
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon salt

Method

Preparation

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Prepare a 9×13-inch baking dish by greasing it or lining it with parchment paper.
Pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness of about ¾ inch for uniform cooking.
In a medium bowl, combine the mayonnaise, grated Parmesan, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix this until smooth and creamy.
Spread the creamy mixture evenly over each chicken breast, ensuring full coverage.
Place the coated chicken breasts in the baking dish and sprinkle with optional paprika or Italian seasoning for added flavor.

Cooking

Bake uncovered for 35–45 minutes or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and the top is golden brown.
Allow the chicken to rest for 5 minutes before serving.
