Ingredients

Scale

Chicken

  • 1 lb chicken breasts

Coating Mixture

  • ⅔ cup mayonnaise
  • ½ cup shredded parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon seasoning salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure it is ready for baking the chicken.
  2. Mix the coating: In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, shredded parmesan cheese, garlic powder, seasoning salt, and black pepper. Stir well until the mixture is smooth and evenly combined.
  3. Prepare the chicken: Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels to help the coating adhere better. Then, evenly spread the mayonnaise and cheese mixture over each chicken breast, coating both sides.
  4. Bake the chicken: Place the coated chicken breasts on a baking sheet or in a baking dish lined with parchment paper or lightly greased. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and the coating is golden and slightly crispy.
  5. Rest and serve: Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving to allow the juices to redistribute, ensuring maximum tenderness.

Notes

  • You can use boneless, skinless chicken thighs as an alternative for a more flavorful yet still tender result.
  • Adjust garlic powder and seasoning salt to your taste preferences or dietary requirements.
  • For a crispier topping, broil the chicken for the last 2-3 minutes of baking, watching carefully to prevent burning.
  • Serve with a fresh salad or steamed vegetables for a complete, balanced meal.
