Description
A simple yet delicious recipe that transforms chicken breasts into a succulent dish with a creamy, cheesy marinade.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup mayonnaise
- ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- Optional: ½ teaspoon paprika or Italian seasoning
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Prepare the chicken breasts by rinsing them under cold water and patting dry.
- Make the marinade by mixing mayonnaise (or Greek yogurt), Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper until smooth.
- Coat each chicken breast generously with the marinade.
- Add optional toppings like paprika or Italian seasoning for extra flavor.

Notes
For a lighter option, substitute mayonnaise with Greek yogurt. Letting the chicken rest helps retain moisture.
