Let’s dive into how you can make this simple yet delicious recipe in just a few easy steps!

🛒 Ingredients:

• 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 1/2 cup mayonnaise
• 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese (freshly grated works best)
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
• 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning (optional)
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• 1/2 cup breadcrumbs (optional, for a crispy topping)
• Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

👩‍🍳 Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven
   Begin by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). This temperature is perfect for baking the chicken until it’s fully cooked and golden brown on top.
2. Prepare the Mayo-Parmesan Mixture
   In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, and Italian seasoning (if using). Stir until all the ingredients are fully incorporated into a smooth, creamy mixture.
3. Season the Chicken
   Season your chicken breasts with a pinch of salt and pepper on both sides. This will help enhance the flavor of the chicken before adding the mayo mixture.
4. Coat the Chicken
   Place the chicken breasts in a baking dish. Spread an even layer of the mayo-Parmesan mixture on top of each chicken breast, ensuring the entire surface is covered. This layer will bake into a creamy, flavorful topping.
5. Optional: Add a Crispy Topping
   If you’d like to add a crispy crunch, sprinkle breadcrumbs over the mayo mixture. The breadcrumbs will crisp up nicely as the chicken bakes, adding a delightful texture contrast to the creamy topping.
6. Bake the Chicken
   Place the baking dish in the oven and bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through (the internal temperature should reach 165°F or 75°C). The mayo-Parmesan topping will turn golden brown and slightly crispy, making it irresistibly delicious.
7. Garnish and Serve
   Once the chicken is done, remove it from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a touch of color and added flavor. Serve immediately, and enjoy!
