Ingredients
Scale
Chicken
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
Coating Mixture
- 1 cup mayonnaise or Greek yogurt
- 1/2 cup parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon seasoning salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to prepare for baking the chicken evenly.
- Mix the Coating: In a mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise or Greek yogurt with parmesan cheese, seasoning salt, black pepper, and garlic powder until fully blended into a smooth mixture.
- Coat the Chicken: Using a spatula, spread the prepared mixture evenly over each chicken breast, making sure they are well coated on all sides.
- Bake the Chicken: Place the coated chicken breasts in a baking dish. Bake in the preheated oven for about 45 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C), ensuring the chicken is fully cooked.
- Rest and Serve: After baking, let the chicken rest for a few minutes to allow the juices to settle before serving for maximum tenderness and flavor.
Notes
- You can substitute milk-free Greek yogurt to make a lighter version of the coating mixture.
- Use a meat thermometer to guarantee the chicken reaches the safe internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
- For extra flavor, add herbs like thyme or rosemary to the coating mixture.
- Serve with steamed vegetables or a fresh salad for a balanced meal.
