Chicken
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
Topping Mixture
- 1 cup mayonnaise (or Greek yogurt for a healthier option)
- 1/2 cup parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon seasoning salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
Instructions
- Prepare the topping mixture: In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise, parmesan cheese, seasoning salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Mix thoroughly until the ingredients are well incorporated.
- Apply mixture to chicken: Evenly spread the prepared mayonnaise and parmesan mixture on top of each chicken breast, ensuring the breasts are fully coated for maximum flavor.
- Place chicken in baking dish: Arrange the coated chicken breasts in a single layer inside a baking dish to allow even cooking.

- Serve: Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest briefly before serving to enjoy tender, flavorful chicken breasts.

- You can add herbs like parsley or basil to the topping mixture for extra flavor.
- Use a meat thermometer to check doneness accurately.
