Ingredients
Chicken
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
Seasoning Mixture
- 1 cup mayonnaise (or Greek yogurt for a healthier option)
- 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon seasoning salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
Instructions
- Prepare the seasoning mixture: In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise, Parmesan cheese, seasoning salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated.
- Coat the chicken: Spread the prepared mixture evenly on top of each chicken breast, ensuring they are fully covered for maximum flavor.
- Bake the chicken: Place the coated chicken breasts into a baking dish. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and bake the chicken for about 45 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the chicken is fully cooked through.
- Serve: Remove the baking dish from the oven and let the chicken rest for a few minutes. Serve warm and enjoy your tender, flavorful melt-in-your-mouth chicken.
Notes
- You can substitute mayonnaise with Greek yogurt for a healthier, lower-fat alternative.
- Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature for perfectly cooked chicken.
- Feel free to add fresh herbs like parsley or basil to the seasoning mix for added freshness.
- Pair with steamed vegetables or a fresh salad for a balanced meal.
- Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
