Ingredients
Scale
Main Protein:
- 4 boneless chicken breast halves
Cheese and Sauce Base:
- 1 cup (240 milliliters) mayonnaise
- 1/2 cup (50 grams) freshly grated Parmesan cheese
Seasonings:
- 1 1/2 teaspoons seasoning salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
Instructions
- Prepare the oven by heating to 375°F (190°C), ensuring a precise temperature for optimal chicken cooking and crust formation.
- Create a velvety coating by whisking mayonnaise, Parmesan, seasoning salt, black pepper, and garlic powder into a smooth, spreadable mixture. Adjust consistency with milk if needed.
- Position chicken breasts on a clean surface and lavishly apply the creamy mixture, thoroughly covering the entire surface to lock in moisture and enhance flavor profile.
- Transfer coated chicken into a baking dish, arranging pieces with slight separation. Distribute any remaining coating generously across the chicken surfaces.
- Roast in the preheated oven for approximately 45 minutes, monitoring for a rich golden-brown exterior and ensuring internal temperature reaches 165°F. Shield with aluminum foil during final cooking stage if top browns too quickly, preventing excessive charring.
Notes
- Use a thermometer to check chicken’s internal temperature, ensuring it reaches 165°F for safe consumption without overcooking.
- Opt for full-fat mayonnaise to maintain the rich, creamy texture and prevent dryness during baking.
- Customize seasoning by substituting herbs like rosemary or thyme for added flavor complexity.
- For gluten-free adaptation, verify Parmesan cheese is certified gluten-free and use alternative seasonings if needed.
