Description
A tender, ultra-moist chicken dish with a golden, savory parmesan crust. The creamy coating acts as a moisture barrier to prevent dryness, perfect for weeknight meals.
Ingredients
4 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 cup mayonnaise or Greek yogurt
1/2 cup parmesan cheese (freshly grated)
1 teaspoon seasoning salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper (freshly cracked)
1 teaspoon garlic powder
Instructions
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C)
Place chicken breasts on a baking sheet, skin-side down if using skin
In a bowl, combine mayonnaise/Greek yogurt, parmesan cheese, seasoning salt, black pepper, and garlic powder
Evenly spread the mixture over the chicken breasts
Bake for 30 minutes or until the chicken is fully cooked (internal temperature reaches 165°F/74°C)
Rest for 5-7 minutes before serving
Notes
Chicken thighs can be used for richer flavor and extra moisture
Sour cream is a suitable substitute for mayonnaise/Greek yogurt
Freshly grated parmesan ensures a better crust
For extra flavor, use smoked paprika instead of seasoning salt
Avoid overhandling the chicken mixture to prevent toughness
