Ingredients
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 cup mayonnaise (or plain Greek yogurt for lighter version)
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp onion powder
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
Optional: 1/2 tsp paprika or Italian seasoning (for topping)
Instructions
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish or line with parchment paper.
Pound chicken breasts to an even thickness (about 3/4 inch) for even cooking.
In a medium bowl, mix together mayonnaise, Parmesan, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper until smooth.
Spread the mixture evenly over each chicken breast, fully covering the tops.
Arrange the chicken in the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle with optional paprika or Italian seasoning if desired.
Bake uncovered for 35–45 minutes, or until internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and tops are golden.
Let rest for 5 minutes before serving to retain maximum juiciness.
