Ingredients
Scale
Main Proteins:
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
Dairy and Binding Ingredients:
- 1 cup mayonnaise (or 240 milliliters)
- 1/2 cup (120 milliliters) Parmesan cheese
Seasonings:
- 1 teaspoon seasoning salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
Instructions
- Create a creamy coating by whisking together tangy mayonnaise, sharp parmesan cheese, and aromatic seasonings in a mixing bowl.
- Generously slather the prepared mixture over each chicken breast, ensuring complete and even coverage.
- Transfer seasoned chicken to a greased baking dish, positioning pieces without overcrowding for consistent heat distribution.
- Roast in a preheated oven at 375°F for approximately 40-45 minutes, monitoring internal temperature until chicken reaches 165°F and develops a golden, slightly crispy exterior.
- Allow chicken to rest for 5 minutes after removing from oven to help retain moisture and enhance flavor intensity before serving.
Notes
- Swap mayonnaise for Greek yogurt to create a lighter, protein-packed version that cuts calories without sacrificing flavor.
- Marinate chicken for 30 minutes before adding the topping to enhance tenderness and infuse deeper seasoning throughout the meat.
- Sprinkle extra cheese on top during the last 10 minutes of baking for a crispy, golden-brown crust that adds delightful texture.
- Check internal chicken temperature with a meat thermometer, ensuring it reaches 165°F for safe consumption while maintaining juicy, succulent results.
