Ingredients

Scale

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

Instructions

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