Ingredients

• 1 cup of full-fat mayonnaise
• 1/2 cup of freshly grated Parmesan cheese
• 1/2 teaspoon of salt
• 1/2 teaspoon of ground black pepper
• 1 teaspoon of garlic powder
• 4 boneless chicken breast halves

Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven

• Set your oven to 375°F (190°C).

2. Arrange the Chicken

• Place the boneless chicken breast halves in a lightly greased baking dish.
• Ensure they are evenly spaced and not overlapping.

3. Prepare the Mixture

• In a mixing bowl, combine:
  • Mayonnaise
  • Parmesan cheese
  • Salt
  • Ground black pepper
  • Garlic powder
• Stir until the mixture is smooth and well-blended.

4. Coat the Chicken

• Use a spatula or spoon to evenly coat each chicken breast with the creamy mixture.
• Spread it thickly to keep the chicken moist and flavorful while baking.

5. Bake to Perfection

• Place the baking dish in the preheated oven.
• Bake for 45 minutes, until the chicken is fully cooked and the topping is golden brown.
• To ensure doneness, use a meat thermometer – the internal temperature should be 165°F (74°C).

6. Serve & Enjoy

• Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving.
• Pair with mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
