Simple Steps for Delicious Results
Step 1: Preheat That Oven Set your oven to 375°F. Let it do its thing while you whip up the topping.
Step 2: Make the Creamy Mixture In a small bowl, mix together your mayo (or Greek yogurt if you’re feeling lighter), Parmesan, garlic powder, seasoned salt, and black pepper. This little bowl of goodness is where all the magic starts.
Step 3: Slather It On Lay your chicken breasts in a baking dish and spread the mixture generously over each one. Don’t be shy—cover every inch like it owes you money.
Step 4: Bake to Golden Perfection Pop that dish in the oven and bake for about 45 minutes. The top should be golden brown, and the chicken cooked through (internal temp should hit 165°F if you’ve got a thermometer handy).
Step 5: Optional Fancy Finish Feeling fancy? Sprinkle on a bit of chopped parsley before serving. It adds color and makes it look like you spent way more time on it than you did.
