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