Ingredients

• 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

• 100g (about ½ cup) mayonnaise

• 100g grated Parmesan cheese

• 1 teaspoon garlic powder

• 1 teaspoon black pepper

• ½ teaspoon salt (or to taste)

• 1 tablespoon chopped parsley (for garnish)

• (Optional) Crushed toasted bread or breadcrumbs for a crispy topping

Instructions

Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F). Lightly grease a medium baking dish or line it with parchment paper.

Prepare the Chicken Topping

In a mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
Stir until the mixture becomes smooth and creamy.

Coat the Chicken Breasts

Place the chicken breasts into the prepared baking dish.
Spread the mayonnaise-Parmesan mixture evenly over the top of each piece.
(Optional) Sprinkle breadcrumbs over the top for a crunchy texture.

Bake

Bake in the preheated oven for 25–30 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked and reaches an internal temperature of 75°C (165°F).
If you prefer a crispier golden top, broil the chicken for an additional 2–3 minutes at the end.

Serving Suggestions

• Serve hot with a fresh salad, rice, or roasted potatoes.

• For a lighter version, use light mayonnaise or substitute with Greek yogurt for a healthier alternative.
