Equipment
- 1 Baking dish
- 1 Mixing bowl
- 1 Spatula or spoon
- 1 Oven
Ingredients
- 12 Boneless, skinless chicken breasts Halves
- 3 Full-fat mayonnaise cups
- 1.5 Freshly grated Parmesan cheese cups
- 3 Garlic powder teaspoons
- 1.5 Salt teaspoons
- 1.5 Ground black pepper teaspoons
Instructions
- ✅ Step 1: Preheat the Oven
- Start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). This ensures even cooking and helps create that perfect golden crust.
- ✅ Step 2: Prepare the Chicken
- Arrange the boneless chicken breast halves in a greased baking dish.
- Ensure the pieces are evenly spaced to allow proper air circulation for even cooking.
- ✅ Step 3: Make the Creamy Coating
- In a mixing bowl, combine mayonnaise, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
- Stir until the mixture is smooth and evenly blended.
- ✅ Step 4: Coat the Chicken
- Using a spatula, spread the creamy mixture generously over the top of each chicken breast.
- Ensure each piece is fully covered for maximum flavor and tenderness.
- ✅ Step 5: Bake to Perfection
- Place the baking dish in the preheated oven.
- Bake for 45 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
- For a golden-brown crust, broil for the last 2-3 minutes.
Notes
- For a healthier option, substitute mayonnaise with Greek yogurt.
- Broiling for the last 2-3 minutes will create a golden, crispy top layer.
- This dish pairs well with mashed potatoes, roasted veggies, or rice for a complete meal.
