Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 4 chicken breasts
Dairy and Binding:
- 1 cup mayonnaise or Greek yogurt
- ½ cup parmesan cheese
Seasonings:
- 1 teaspoon seasoning salt
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Combine 1 cup of mayonnaise or Greek yogurt, ½ cup parmesan cheese, 1 teaspoon seasoning salt, ½ teaspoon black pepper, and 1 teaspoon garlic powder in a mixing bowl. Whisk these ingredients until they form a smooth, creamy coating.
- Place 4 chicken breasts in a baking dish and generously spread the prepared mixture across the top of each breast, ensuring complete and even coverage.
- Position the baking dish in a preheated oven at 375°F. Bake the chicken for exactly 45 minutes, checking that the internal temperature reaches 165°F for safe consumption.
- After removing the dish from the oven, allow the chicken to rest for 3-5 minutes. This helps redistribute the juices and keeps your chicken tender and moist before serving.
Notes
- Use full-fat Greek yogurt or mayonnaise for the most tender, juicy chicken texture.
- Opt for freshly grated parmesan cheese instead of pre-packaged for a richer flavor profile.
- Check chicken’s internal temperature with a meat thermometer to ensure it reaches 165°F for safe consumption.
- For a low-carb version, swap seasoning salt with herbs like thyme or rosemary and use a low-carb cheese option.
