- 4 skinless boneless chicken breasts
- 1 cup of mayonnaise or for a healthier twist, Greek yogurt
- 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon seasoning salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Gently coat a baking dish with oil or cover it with parchment paper to simplify cleanup.
Prepare the chicken: Pat the chicken breasts dry with a paper towel and place them in the prepared baking dish in a single layer.
Make the creamy topping: In a small mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise or Greek yogurt, parmesan cheese, seasoning salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Stir until well blended.
Coat the chicken: Spread the creamy mixture evenly over each chicken breast, ensuring they are fully coated.
Bake the chicken: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C) and the topping is golden brown and bubbly.
Optional finishing step: For a crispier top, switch to broil mode for the last 2-3 minutes, watching carefully to prevent burning.
Rest and serve: Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving. This ensures the juices settle, making the chicken even more tender.
