Mayonnaise Parmesan Chicken
Description
This recipe for Mayonnaise Parmesan Chicken begins with slicing boneless chicken breasts in half horizontally to create thinner portions for even cooking. The chicken is seasoned simply with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder, then arranged in a baking dish. A mixture of room-temperature mayonnaise combined with Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, salt, and pepper is spread on top, providing both moisture and a flavorful, creamy coating.
The chicken bakes at 400°F until reaching a safe internal temperature of 165°F and the cheese topping becomes hot and bubbling. This method ensures the chicken remains juicy inside while the Parmesan forms a slightly browned, flavorful crust. The garlic powder in the topping complements the cheese and seasoning on the chicken, highlighting umami flavors.
Garnish with fresh parsley for color and a mild herb note. This dish can be served as a main course accompanied by vegetables or a salad. The straightforward preparation and baking process make it accessible for home cooks seeking a modest yet satisfying chicken recipe emphasizing Parmesan and mayonnaise's creamy texture.
