Creamy Parmesan Baked Chicken
Ingredients
- Boneless, skinless chicken breasts – 4
- Mayonnaise (or plain Greek yogurt) – 1 cup
- Parmesan cheese – 1/2 cup
- Seasoning salt – 1 tsp
- Black pepper – 1/2 tsp
- Garlic powder – 1 tsp
Instructions
- Make the creamy topping: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). In a bowl, combine mayonnaise (or Greek yogurt), Parmesan cheese, seasoning salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Mix until smooth. This mixture will create a rich, flavorful coating for the chicken.
- Coat the chicken: Spread the creamy mixture evenly over each chicken breast, covering the tops completely to lock in flavor and moisture.
- Bake the chicken: Arrange the coated chicken in a baking dish without crowding the pieces. Bake for about 45 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked and the top is golden and slightly crisp.
- Rest and serve: Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest a few minutes before serving. This helps retain juiciness. Serve warm with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables, salad, or mashed potatoes, for a delicious and satisfying meal.
