Ingredients
- 2 chicken breasts
- ¼ cup mayo real mayonnaise (50g)
- ¼ cup (22g) grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning or Herbes de Provence
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- salt and pepper
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F / 220°C / Gas Mark 7 (no fan, if you have a convection oven reduce the temperature by about 20° or follow the manufacturer's instructions).
- Pound the chicken breast in its thickest part slightly (it will bake more evenly). Don't pound it too much - it should still resemble chicken breasts and not chicken cutlets. Season with salt and pepper on both sides (be careful with salt, Parmesan cheese is already salty).
- In a small bowl stir the mayo, grated cheese, Italian seasoning, and garlic powder together.
- Spread the mayo-cheese paste on the chicken, making sure it's covered on all sides (spread more paste on top of the meat).
- Bake for about 17-19 minutes depending on the size of the breasts. To be sure if they're done, measure the internal temperature of the meat with a meat thermometer. Insert it into the thickest part of the meat - the temperature should be 158°F/70°C (the safe temperature for poultry is 165°F/74°C, the meat should come to this temperature after the resting time).
- Let rest for 5-10 minutes then serve.
- Enjoy!

Notes
- This recipe can be easily doubled, triples etc.
- If the cheesy crust is browning too much, you can cover the dish loosely with aluminum foil.
- Calories = 1 chicken breast/1 serving (1/2 of the recipe). This is only an estimate!
