Main Ingredients

  • 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts Use fresh chicken for the best flavor.
  • 1 cup mayonnaise or plain Greek yogurt Either option works well for creaminess.
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese Substitute with mozzarella or cheddar if desired.

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  • In a bowl, mix the mayonnaise (or Greek yogurt) and Parmesan cheese together.
  • Place the chicken breasts in a baking dish and spread the mixture evenly over the top of each breast.

Cooking

  • Bake for 25-30 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and no longer pink in the center.
  • Serve warm.

Notes

This dish pairs well with steamed vegetables, rice, or a fresh salad. A light drizzle of lemon juice can add extra flavor. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-4 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
