Ingredients
- 4 pieces chicken breasts
- 1 cup mayonnaise
- 0.5 cup, grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Step 2
Lightly grease a baking dish with olive oil and set aside.
Step 3
In a mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, dried basil, paprika, salt, black pepper, and lemon juice. Stir until well mixed.
Step 4
Place the chicken breasts on a clean surface. If needed, pound them to an even thickness using a meat mallet to ensure even cooking.
Step 5
Pat the chicken breasts dry with a paper towel, then season them lightly with additional salt and pepper.
Step 6
Coat each chicken breast completely with the mayonnaise mixture, making sure it’s covered on all sides.
Step 7
Arrange the coated chicken breasts in the prepared baking dish.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the tops are golden brown.
Step 9
If desired, switch to broil for the last 1-2 minutes to achieve a crispier top.
Step 10
Remove from the oven and let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving to allow the juices to redistribute.
Step 11
Serve hot, with your favorite low carb sides, such as steamed vegetables or a fresh green salad.
