Ingredients

- 0.5 cups Mayonnaise
- 0.5 cups Grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoons Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoons Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 1 teaspoons Italian seasoning
- 0.25 cups Panko breadcrumbs (optional for added texture)
- 0 Cooking spray
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
Step 2
Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels and place them in the prepared baking dish.
Step 3
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, paprika, salt, black pepper, and Italian seasoning. Stir until well blended.
Step 4
Spread the mayo-Parmesan mixture evenly over the tops of the chicken breasts, ensuring they are fully coated.
Step 5
If you'd like a little added crunch, sprinkle panko breadcrumbs evenly over the coated chicken breasts.
Step 6
Bake the chicken in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C) and the topping is golden and bubbly.
Step 7
Optional: Turn on the oven broiler for the last 2-3 minutes to achieve a slightly crispier topping, keeping a close eye to avoid burning.
Step 8
Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Step 9
Serve hot alongside your favorite side dishes like roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a fresh green salad. Enjoy!
