Get ready to make juicy, tender chicken that’s packed with flavor and so easy to make! This baked chicken breast recipe is creamy, cheesy, and absolutely melts in your mouth — perfect for busy weeknights or a cozy weekend dinner.

Ingredients:

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 cup mayonnaise (or Greek yogurt for a lighter option)
  • 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • Optional: 1 tsp dried Italian seasoning or paprika for extra flavor

Instructions:

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Prepare a baking dish by lightly greasing it or spraying with non-stick spray.
  3. In a medium bowl, mix together the mayonnaise, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper, and optional seasoning.
  4. Place the chicken breasts in the baking dish.
  5. Spread the mayo mixture evenly over the top of each chicken breast.
  6. Bake uncovered for 25–35 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F).
  7. Optional: Broil for 2–3 minutes at the end for a golden, bubbly top.
  8. Let rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Tips:

  • Pound the chicken breasts to even thickness for more even cooking.
  • Serve with mashed potatoes, steamed veggies, or a fresh salad.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
