Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts

- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt

- Take what you’ve set aside—your boneless, skinless chicken breasts—and place them in a lightly greased baking dish.
- In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise or Greek yogurt with the freshly grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and paprika.

- After removing the chicken from the oven, allow it to rest for about 5 minutes and garnish with chopped fresh parsley.
