Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 cup mayonnaise or plain Greek yogurt Yogurt makes a tangier, slightly lighter topping
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese Freshly grated gives the best flavor
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika or Italian seasoning (optional) For color and extra flavor

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
  2. Place a chicken breast between two sheets of plastic wrap and gently pound it to about 3/4 inch thick. Repeat with remaining breasts.
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise or Greek yogurt, grated Parmesan, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper until smooth.
  4. Spread the mixture evenly over each chicken breast, ensuring a uniform coating.
  5. Arrange the coated breasts in the prepared baking dish and sprinkle optional paprika or Italian seasoning on top.
Cooking
  1. Bake uncovered for 35 to 45 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the topping is lightly golden.
  2. Remove from the oven and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
