Description
Indulge in the deliciousness of our Mayo Parmesan Chicken Recipe, where juicy chicken meets a creamy, cheesy coating, resulting in a perfectly baked dish that the whole family will love.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 cup seasoned breadcrumbs (optional for crunch)
- Chopped parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). This step is crucial for achieving that golden-browned chicken that we all love. While the oven is heating up, prepare your baking dish by giving it a light coating of cooking spray or oil to prevent sticking.
- In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, dried Italian seasoning, and black pepper. Use a whisk or spatula to mix everything until it’s evenly combined and smooth. This creamy topping not only locks in moisture but also turns deliciously crispy when baked.
- Place the boneless chicken breasts in the prepared baking dish. With a generous spoon, spread the mayo-Parmesan mixture over each chicken breast, ensuring each piece is well coated. If you’re looking to add a bit of crunch, sprinkle seasoned breadcrumbs on top of the coating for an extra layer of texture.
- Transfer the baking dish to your preheated oven and let the chicken bake uncovered for 25-30 minutes. Keep an eye on it, and use a meat thermometer to check for doneness; the chicken should reach an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C). The topping should be nice and golden brown.
- Once your chicken reaches the desired doneness, remove the baking dish from the oven and allow the chicken to rest for about 5 minutes. This resting time helps the juices redistribute, ensuring each serving is juicy and tender. If desired, garnish with chopped parsley before serving to add a pop of color!
Notes
Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature before you begin, as this helps the mayonnaise blend better with the other components.
