Total Time: ~30–35 min

Ingredients

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (or thighs)

½ cup mayonnaise (or Greek yogurt for a lighter option)

½ cup grated Parmesan cheese

1–2 cloves garlic, minced (optional but adds great flavor)

1 tsp Italian seasoning (or mix of oregano, thyme, basil)

Salt and black pepper, to taste

Optional: ¼ cup breadcrumbs (for a little crunch on top)

Optional: fresh chopped parsley (for garnish)

Instructions

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).

Prep the chicken:

Pat chicken dry with paper towels.

Season both sides with salt and pepper.

Mix topping:

In a bowl, mix mayonnaise, Parmesan cheese, garlic, and Italian seasoning.

Coat chicken:

Place chicken in a greased baking dish.

Spread the mayo-Parmesan mixture evenly over the top of each piece.

(Optional) Sprinkle with breadcrumbs for a crispy topping.

Bake:

Bake uncovered for 25–30 minutes (until internal temp is 165°F / 74°C and top is golden brown).

You can broil the top for 1–2 minutes at the end for extra crispiness.
