Ingredients
-
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
-
Salt and black pepper, to taste
-
Topping:
-
¾ cup mayonnaise
-
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
-
1 teaspoon garlic powder
-
½ teaspoon onion powder
-
½ teaspoon paprika
-
Optional: 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a baking dish.
- Season chicken breasts on both sides with salt and pepper and place in the prepared dish.
- In a small bowl, mix mayonnaise, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and parsley (if using).
- Spread the mayonnaise mixture evenly over the top of each chicken breast.
- Bake uncovered for 25–30 minutes, until chicken is cooked through and the topping is golden.
- For a lightly crisped top, broil for 1–2 minutes at the end.
- Rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Notes
- Mayo keeps the chicken incredibly moist—no mayo taste once baked.
- Use freshly grated Parmesan for the best flavor.
- Swap mayo for Greek yogurt for a lighter version.
- Add breadcrumbs or panko on top for extra crunch.
This Baked Mayonnaise Parmesan Chicken is incredibly juicy, tender, and full of rich, savory flavor. A creamy mayonnaise and Parmesan topping keeps the chicken moist as it bakes, while creating a lightly golden, flavorful crust.
