Main Ingredients

4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 cup mayonnaise (or plain Greek yogurt for a lighter option) Greek yogurt can be used for a healthier version.
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
½ teaspoon paprika
to taste none Salt and black pepper
to taste none Fresh chopped parsley (optional, for garnish) Garnish adds a pop of color.

Preparation

Preheat the oven by setting it to 375°F (190°C) and lightly greasing a 9×13-inch baking dish.
In a medium bowl, combine the mayonnaise (or yogurt), Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, Italian seasoning, paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix until well blended.
Place the chicken breasts in the prepared baking dish and evenly spread the creamy mixture over the top of each piece.

Cooking

Bake the chicken uncovered for 25–30 minutes, or until it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and the topping is golden and bubbly.
Garnish with fresh parsley and serve hot alongside rice, roasted veggies, or a crisp salad.

This dish keeps really well in the fridge for up to 3-4 days and can be frozen for about 3 months. Reheat in the oven for best results.
