Ingredients
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup mayonnaise (or plain Greek yogurt for a lighter version)
- ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
- ½ teaspoon paprika
- Salt & black pepper, to taste
- Fresh chopped parsley, for garnish (optional)
Instructions
1. Preheat Oven
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Prepare the Chicken
Pat chicken breasts dry with a paper towel.
Season both sides lightly with salt and pepper.
3. Make the Creamy Topping
In a bowl, mix together:
- mayonnaise (or Greek yogurt)
- Parmesan cheese
- garlic powder
- onion powder
- Italian seasoning
- paprika
Stir until a smooth, creamy mixture forms.
4. Assemble
Place chicken breasts in a baking dish.
Spread the creamy mixture evenly over the tops of the chicken.
5. Bake
Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through and reaches 165°F (74°C) internally.
For a golden top, broil the last 2–3 minutes.
6. Finish & Serve
Garnish with fresh parsley.
Serve with rice, roasted veggies, pasta, or a fresh salad.
Tips
- Greek yogurt makes it tangier and higher in protein.
- Add a squeeze of lemon for brightness.
- Use chicken cutlets for faster cooking.
