Ingredients

  • 1 cup full-fat mayonnaise
  • ½ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 4 boneless skinless chicken breast halves

Instructions

  • Preheat the Oven: Set the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  • Prepare the Chicken: Place the chicken breast halves in a baking dish, ensuring they are evenly spaced and not overlapping.
  • Make the Coating: In a mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise, Parmesan cheese, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder until smooth.
  • Coat the Chicken: Evenly spread the mixture over the chicken breasts using a spatula or the back of a spoon.
  • Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for about 45 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the topping is golden brown. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C).

Notes

Use a meat thermometer to ensure the chicken is fully cooked.
Serve with roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
For extra flavor, add a squeeze of lemon juice or a sprinkle of fresh herbs before serving.
