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:

- Place the chicken breasts in the baking dish.
- Spread the mayo mixture evenly over the top of each chicken breast.
- Bake uncovered for 25–35 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F).

Tips:
