Ingredients:
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 cup mayonnaise (or Greek yogurt for a lighter option)
½ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon smoked paprika (or regular paprika)
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon black pepper
Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions:
1. Preheat the oven:
Set your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
2. Prep the chicken:
Pat chicken breasts dry with paper towels. This helps the topping stick better and ensures even cooking.
3. Make the creamy topping:
In a medium bowl, mix together mayonnaise (or Greek yogurt), Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper until smooth.
4. Assemble:
Place chicken breasts in the baking dish. Spread the creamy mixture evenly over the top of each piece, making sure they are fully coated.
5. Bake to perfection:
Bake uncovered for 30–40 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and the topping is golden brown and bubbly.
6. Garnish & serve:
Sprinkle with fresh parsley for a pop of color and serve hot with your favorite sides like roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a crisp green salad.
Tips & Variations:
✅ Use Greek yogurt instead of mayonnaise for extra protein and fewer calories.
✅ Add a pinch of cayenne pepper for a little heat.
✅ Swap Parmesan for sharp cheddar or Asiago for a new flavor twist.
✅ Double the topping and spread a little on roasted veggies for a complete meal.
