Ingredients

Scale

Chicken

  • 4 chicken breasts without skin and bones

Coating Mixture

  • 1 cup of mayonnaise or Greek yogurt
  • 1/2 cup of parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon of seasoning salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon of garlic powder

Instructions

  1. Prepare the chicken: Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture. This helps the coating stick better and ensures even cooking.
  2. Mix the coating: In a bowl, combine mayonnaise or Greek yogurt with parmesan cheese, seasoning salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Stir well until the mixture is smooth and uniformly mixed.
  3. Coat the chicken: Generously spread the mixture over each chicken breast, ensuring each piece is well coated on all sides for maximum flavor and moisture retention.
  4. Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 375°F (190°C) and allow it to fully preheat while preparing the baking dish.
  5. Bake the chicken: Place the coated chicken breasts in a baking dish. Bake uncovered for about 25-30 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the coating is golden and slightly crisp around the edges.
  6. Rest and serve: Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving. This allows the juices to redistribute, making the chicken extra tender and juicy.

Notes

  • For a lighter option, use Greek yogurt instead of mayonnaise to reduce fat while keeping creaminess.
  • Seasoning salt can be replaced with regular salt and a pinch of smoked paprika for a different flavor profile.
  • Serve with steamed vegetables or a fresh salad for a balanced meal.
  • If you prefer a crispier crust, broil the chicken for an additional 2-3 minutes at the end of baking, watching carefully to avoid burning.
