Ingredients

• 4 pieces chicken breasts
• 1 cup mayonnaise
• 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons olive oil

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise, minced garlic, lemon juice, grated Parmesan cheese, dried thyme, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create a smooth marinade.

Step 3

Add the chicken breasts to the bowl and coat them thoroughly with the mayonnaise mixture. Ensure each piece is evenly covered.

Step 4

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let the chicken marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. If you have more time, marinate for up to 2 hours for enhanced flavor.

Step 5

Drizzle olive oil into a baking dish to prevent sticking, then arrange the marinated chicken breasts in a single layer.

Step 6

Pour any remaining marinade over the chicken pieces.

Step 7

Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). The top should be golden brown.

Step 8

Once cooked, remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Step 9

Serve the mayonnaise chicken with your choice of sides, such as steamed vegetables or a fresh salad.
