Equipment

  • Baking dish
  • Mixing bowl
  • Spatula or spoon

Ingredients
  

  • 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 cup mayonnaise or Greek yogurt for a lighter option
  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • Optional garnish: fresh parsley chopped

Instructions
 

  • Step 1: Preheat the Oven
  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  • Step 2: Prepare the Chicken
  • Pat the chicken breasts dry with a paper towel.
  • Season both sides of the chicken with salt and pepper.
  • Step 3: Make the Creamy Topping
  • In a mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika. Mix until smooth and well blended.
  • Step 4: Assemble the Dish
  • Place the chicken breasts in a baking dish in a single layer.
  • Spread the creamy mixture evenly over the top of each chicken breast using a spoon or spatula.
  • Step 5: Bake
  • Bake the chicken in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
  • For a golden, crispy top, switch the oven to broil for the last 2-3 minutes. Keep a close eye to prevent burning.
  • Step 6: Garnish and Serve
  • Remove the chicken from the oven, let it rest for a couple of minutes, and garnish with fresh parsley if desired. Serve warm and enjoy!
