Bake boneless chicken breasts in a simple, creamy mayonnaise and Parmesan topping for a juicy, tender, and family-friendly weeknight dinner.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese (for topping)
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  2. Place the chicken breasts in the prepared baking dish.
  3. In a small bowl, mix together the mayonnaise, 1/2 cup of Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, and black pepper until combined.
  4. Spread the mayonnaise mixture evenly over the top of each chicken breast.
  5. Sprinkle the remaining 1/4 cup of Parmesan cheese over the coated chicken.
  6. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit and the topping is lightly golden brown.
  7. Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving.
