  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise

Baking & Spices:

  • 1/2 tsp paprika
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Dairy:

  • 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, grated

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven:
    Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a baking dish.
  2. Prepare the Chicken:
    Place the chicken breasts in the baking dish. Season both sides with salt and pepper.
  3. Make the Creamy Topping:
    In a bowl, mix the mayonnaise, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika until well combined.
  4. Spread the Mixture:
    Spread the creamy Parmesan mixture evenly over the chicken breasts, ensuring they are completely covered.
  5. Bake the Chicken:
    Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and is tender and juicy.
  6. Garnish and Serve:
    Sprinkle with fresh parsley and serve hot with your favorite side dishes like roasted vegetables or mashed potatoes.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, add a sprinkle of Italian seasoning to the creamy mixture.
  • If you prefer a crispier topping, broil for the last 2-3 minutes of baking.
  • This recipe works well with chicken thighs, but adjust the cooking time accordingly.
