Some recipes just bring back the warmth of home, and this one is it. I remember my grandmother making this on quiet Sunday afternoons, her kitchen filled with the cozy scent of seasoned chicken. It’s simple, wholesome, and perfect for anyone who wants a delicious meal without a fuss. Share it with someone you love tonight.

Ingredients

Scale

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

  • 1 cup mayonnaise (or Greek yogurt for lighter option)

  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese

  • 1 tsp garlic powder

  • 1 tsp onion powder

  • ½ tsp salt

  • ½ tsp black pepper

  • Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).

  2. In a bowl, mix mayonnaise, Parmesan, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.

  3. Place chicken breasts in a baking dish and evenly spread the mixture on top of each piece.

  4. Bake uncovered for 30-35 minutes, until chicken is fully cooked and topping is golden.

  5. Let rest for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with parsley if desired.

Notes

  • Use a meat thermometer: Chicken is perfectly cooked at 165°F (74°C). No guessing—just juicy, safe chicken every time.

  • Try it with herbs: Add a pinch of dried thyme or Italian seasoning to the mayo mix for extra flavor.

  • Marinate ahead: For deeper flavor, let the chicken marinate in the mayo mixture for 1–2 hours in the fridge before baking.

  • Add a crust: Sprinkle a handful of breadcrumbs or crushed Ritz crackers on top for a crispy golden finish.

  • Serve smart: Pair with steamed green beans, mashed potatoes, or a simple salad for a balanced plate.
