For the chicken:
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
For the creamy parmesan topping:
- 1 cup mayonnaise (substitute with plain Greek yogurt for a healthier option)
- 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon seasoned salt
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Prepare the baking dish: Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper.
- Mix the topping: In a medium bowl, combine mayonnaise (or Greek yogurt), parmesan cheese, seasoned salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Mix until smooth.
- Prepare the chicken: Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels and place them evenly in the baking dish.
- Coat with topping: Use a spatula or spoon to evenly coat the top of each chicken breast with the creamy parmesan mixture.
- Bake: Bake uncovered for 45 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the top is golden brown.
- Rest and serve: Allow the chicken to rest for 5 minutes before serving to lock in the juices.
