Parmesan Mayo Chicken

Ingredients:

  • 4 thin boneless skinless chicken breasts (about 1 ½ pounds)
  • Salt and pepper, for seasoning
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise (115 grams)
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese, divided (3 ounces)
  • 2 teaspoons minced garlic (16 grams)
  • ½ teaspoon ground mustard
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon paprika
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper

Instructions:

  1. Prepare Oven and Pan: Preheat your oven to 400°F. Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
  2. Prepare Chicken: If the chicken breasts are large, slice them horizontally to create thinner pieces for even cooking. Place them in the prepared baking dish and season both sides with salt and pepper.
  3. Create Mayo Mixture: In a medium bowl, combine the mayonnaise with ¾ cup of Parmesan cheese. Stir in the minced garlic, ground mustard, salt, paprika, and black pepper until the mixture is well blended.
  4. Apply Mayo Mixture: Evenly distribute the mayo mixture over the chicken breasts in the dish. Then, sprinkle the remaining Parmesan cheese on top.
  5. Bake: Bake the chicken in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F, indicating it’s fully cooked.
  6. Broil for Crispiness: For a slightly browned and crispy top, turn the broiler on low and broil for about 2 minutes, keeping a close eye to prevent burning.
  7. Serve and Store: Serve the chicken hot from the oven. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
