Instructions
- Preheat & Prep: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a baking dish or line it with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
- Make the Creamy Coating: In a small bowl, mix mayonnaise (or Greek yogurt), Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, pepper, parsley, and lemon juice until well combined.
- Coat the Chicken: Place the chicken breasts in the prepared baking dish. Evenly spread the creamy mixture over each breast, ensuring they’re fully coated.
- Bake to Perfection: Bake uncovered for 25-30 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) and the top is golden brown.
- Broil for Extra Crispiness (Optional): If you want a crispy golden top, turn the oven to broil for the last 2-3 minutes. Keep an eye on it to avoid burning.
- Rest & Serve: Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving to allow the juices to redistribute. Serve with roasted vegetables, rice, or a fresh salad!
