Ingredients
-
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
-
1 cup mayonnaise or plain Greek yogurt
-
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
-
1 tsp garlic powder
-
1 tsp onion powder
-
1 tsp salt
-
½ tsp black pepper
-
Optional: ½ tsp paprika or Italian seasoning
Instructions
-
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease or line a 9×13-inch baking dish.
-
Pound chicken breasts to an even ¾-inch thickness for even cooking.
-
In a bowl, mix mayo or yogurt, Parmesan, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
-
Spread mixture evenly over each chicken breast.
-
Place chicken in the baking dish. Sprinkle paprika or Italian seasoning if using.
-
Bake uncovered for 35–45 minutes, or until the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C) and topping is bubbly and golden.
-
Rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Notes
Use Greek yogurt for a tangier flavor or mayo for a richer texture.
Pounding the chicken ensures even cooking and tenderness.
Letting the chicken rest locks in juices.
Pair with low-carb sides like roasted vegetables or cauliflower mash for a keto-friendly meal.
