Instructions
- Preheat Oven:

In a bowl, mix the mayonnaise, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika until well combined. - Spread the Mixture:
Spread the creamy Parmesan mixture evenly over the chicken breasts, ensuring they are completely covered. - Bake the Chicken:

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.
