Parmesan-Crusted Chicken
A quick and easy baked chicken recipe with a creamy Parmesan crust. The topping adds a golden, flavorful layer to the tender chicken breasts, making this dish perfect for weeknight dinners.
Ingredients
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup mayonnaise or plain Greek yogurt for a lighter option
- 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese grated
- 1 tsp seasoning salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp garlic powder
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a baking dish with non-stick spray or oil.
- If chicken breasts are thick, lightly pound them to an even thickness for even cooking.
- In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise (or Greek yogurt), Parmesan cheese, seasoning salt, black pepper, and garlic powder until smooth.
- Spread the mixture evenly over the top of each chicken breast to coat them well.
- Place the chicken in the prepared baking dish. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Optionally, broil for the last 2-3 minutes for a crispier top.
- Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving.
Notes
For an extra burst of flavor, add fresh herbs like parsley or thyme to the topping mixture.
