Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 cup mayonnaise or Greek yogurt
  • 1/2 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • Optional garnish: fresh parsley

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a baking dish with cooking spray.
  • Pat the chicken breasts dry with a paper towel and place them in the prepared dish.
  • In a small bowl, mix together the mayonnaise (or Greek yogurt), parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
  • Spread the creamy mixture evenly over the chicken breasts, making sure to cover the entire surface.
  • For an extra crispy top, sprinkle a bit more parmesan cheese or breadcrumbs on top.
  • Bake the chicken for 30–35 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
  • For a golden-brown finish, broil the chicken for an additional 2–3 minutes. Watch carefully to avoid burning.
  • Remove from the oven and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.

Notes

For the best results, use freshly grated parmesan cheese and ensure the chicken breasts are of even thickness. This dish pairs well with roasted vegetables, rice, or a crisp garden salad. To save time, you can prepare the creamy topping in advance and store it in the fridge for up to 24 hours.
