Ingredients

Scale

Chicken

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

Topping

  • 1 cup mayonnaise or Greek yogurt
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Garnish (Optional)

  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a baking dish to prevent sticking.
  2. Prepare the chicken: Place the boneless, skinless chicken breasts in a single layer in the baking dish to ensure even cooking.
  3. Make the topping: In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise or Greek yogurt, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
  4. Coat the chicken: Spread the prepared topping mixture evenly over the top of each chicken breast, making sure they are fully coated for maximum flavor and moisture.
  5. Bake: Place the dish in the oven and bake for 25–30 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked through and the topping turns a golden brown color.
  6. Optional broil for crust: For an extra crisp and golden crust, broil the chicken for the last 2–3 minutes of cooking while closely monitoring to prevent burning.
  7. Garnish and serve: Once cooked, remove from the oven, garnish with chopped fresh parsley if desired, and serve hot for a delicious meal.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, marinate the chicken in olive oil, lemon juice, and garlic for 30 minutes before applying the topping.
  • This recipe works well with chicken thighs if preferred.
  • Use light mayonnaise or Greek yogurt for a healthier version.
  • Ensure not to overcook the chicken to keep it moist and tender.
