Ingredients

    • 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts

 

    • Mayo-Parmesan Mixture:
    • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
    • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
    • 1 tsp garlic powder
    • 1/2 tsp onion powder
    • 1/2 tsp dried Italian seasoning
    • 1/4 tsp salt
    • 1/4 tsp black pepper

 

    • Optional for Crunch:
    • 1/2 cup seasoned breadcrumbs (or panko/crushed crackers)

 

  • Garnish:
  • Chopped parsley (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or grease a baking dish.
  2. Pat chicken breasts dry and pound to even thickness if needed.
  3. Mix mayonnaise, Parmesan, garlic powder, onion powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper into a paste.
  4. Place chicken on prepared baking sheet. Spread mayo-Parmesan mixture evenly over the tops.
  5. Sprinkle with breadcrumbs if using, pressing gently to help them stick.
  6. Bake for 20–25 minutes, until chicken reaches 165°F (74°C) and topping is golden.
  7. Let rest 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with parsley if desired.

Notes

  • Swap half the mayonnaise with Greek yogurt for a lighter, tangier version.
  • Add fresh herbs like basil or thyme for extra flavor.
  • Try this method on salmon or pork chops for variety.
  • Use gluten-free breadcrumbs or skip them for a gluten-free option.
