Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 4 Chicken breasts Boneless skinless
  • 1 cup Mayonnaise Or sour cream
  • 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese Freshly grated
  • 1 tsp Garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp Onion powder
  • 1/2 tsp Paprika Smoked or sweet
  • Salt & pepper To taste
  • 1 tbsp Chopped parsley Optional for garnish

Equipment

  • 1 Baking dish (9x13 inch)
  • 1 Mixing bowl For combining topping mixture
  • 1 Spoon or spatula For spreading the mixture
  • 1 Oven — preheated to 375°F (190°C)

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine mayonnaise (or sour cream), Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
  3. Place the chicken breasts in the baking dish and spread the creamy mixture evenly over the top of each piece.
  4. Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C) and the top is golden and bubbly.
  5. Rest the chicken for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with chopped parsley if desired.

Notes

  • For a tangier flavor, try using Greek yogurt instead of mayo or sour cream.
  • This recipe works beautifully with thighs or tenders too; just adjust the cook time.
  • Pair it with roasted veggies, mashed potatoes, or a side salad for a complete meal.
