Ingredients
  

Main ingredients
  • 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 cup mayonnaise or plain Greek yogurt Yogurt makes it lighter and tangier
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese Fresh-grated binds better
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt Reduce to 3/4 teaspoon for lower sodium
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika or Italian seasoning Optional, for color and extra flavor

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
  2. Place each chicken breast between two sheets of plastic wrap and pound to an even thickness of about 3/4 inch.
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise or yogurt, Parmesan, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper until smooth.
  4. Spread the mixture evenly over the top of each chicken breast.
  5. Arrange the coated breasts in the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle with optional paprika or Italian seasoning.
Cooking
  1. Bake uncovered for 35 to 45 minutes, or until a meat thermometer reads 165°F (74°C). Baking time varies with breast size and thickness.
  2. Remove the dish from the oven and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

Notes

Cool leftovers to room temperature within two hours and store in an airtight container for up to 3 to 4 days. For freezing, wrap individual breasts tightly in plastic and place in a freezer bag for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator before reheating. To reheat, use a 325°F (160°C) oven or microwave in short bursts to avoid drying.
