Instructions

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Place the chicken breasts on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or lightly greased with cooking spray. Season both sides of the chicken with black pepper, seasoning salt, and garlic powder.
In a medium bowl, combine mayonnaise (or Greek yogurt) and grated Parmesan cheese. Mix until smooth and well combined.
Evenly spread the mayonnaise and Parmesan mixture over the top of each seasoned chicken breast.
Place the chicken in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C). Optionally, broil for 2-3 minutes for a golden-brown, crispy topping.
Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before serving.
Serve the Mayonnaise and Parmesan Chicken hot with your favorite sides like roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a fresh green salad.

Notes

For added flavor, consider adding fresh herbs like thyme, rosemary, or parsley to the mayonnaise and Parmesan mixture.
To spice it up, add cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes to the mixture.
Feel free to substitute Parmesan with mozzarella, cheddar, or Asiago cheese for a different flavor profile.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or microwave.
If you’re short on time, prepare the chicken ahead and coat it with the mixture, then refrigerate until ready to bake.
