Ingredients:
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning (optional)
1/4 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
1/4 teaspoon black pepper (or to taste)
1 tablespoon olive oil (for greasing the pan)
Fresh parsley or basil for garnish (optional)
Instructions:
Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a baking dish or line it with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Prepare the Mayo Parmesan Coating:
In a medium-sized bowl, mix together the mayonnaise, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, Italian seasoning (if using), salt, and pepper. Stir until all the ingredients are well combined.
Coat the Chicken:
Place the chicken breasts in the prepared baking dish. Using a spoon or spatula, generously spread the mayo-Parmesan mixture over the top of each chicken breast, covering them evenly.
Bake the Chicken:
Once the chicken breasts are coated, place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and the topping is golden brown and crispy.
Serve:
Once the chicken is done, remove it from the oven and allow it to rest for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh parsley or basil if desired.
Tips for Serving and Storing:
Serving Suggestions:
Serve your Mayo Parmesan Chicken with a side of roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a fresh green salad. It also pairs wonderfully with pasta or rice for a complete meal.
Storing:
Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place the chicken in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10-15 minutes or until heated through, to maintain the crispiness of the topping.
