For the Chicken

  • 4 pieces Boneless chicken breast halves Tender, juicy, and ideal for this dish.

For the Sauce

  • 1 cup Full-fat mayonnaise Full flavor for that rich, creamy texture.
  • 0.5 cup Freshly grated Parmesan cheese Adds salty, nutty depth (freshly grated works best!).
  • 0.5 tsp Salt Balances the richness.
  • 0.5 tsp Ground black pepper A touch of heat and flavor.
  • 1 tsp Garlic powder Adds warmth and aroma.

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

  • In a mixing bowl, combine mayonnaise, Parmesan cheese, salt, pepper, and garlic powder until smooth.

Cooking

  • Place the chicken breasts in the prepared baking dish.
  • Spread the creamy mixture evenly over the chicken.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes until the chicken is cooked thoroughly and the top is golden.

Serving

  • Remove the dish from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes.
  • Serve with your favorite sides—think mashed potatoes or steamed veggies—for a complete meal.

Notes
