Instructions
Step 01
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a glass or metal baking dish to prevent sticking.

In a mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise (or Greek yogurt), Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, seasoned salt, and black pepper. Stir until smooth.
Step 03
Arrange the chicken breasts in the prepared dish. Evenly spread the creamy mixture over the top of each chicken breast.
Step 04
Bake for 45 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through, with a golden and bubbly topping. Ensure the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Step 05
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a burst of color and added flavor. Serve hot and enjoy!
Notes
- Use freshly grated Parmesan for the best flavor.
- Let the chicken rest for a few minutes after baking to allow the juices to redistribute.
- For an extra kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes.
