Ingredients

• 4 pieces Chicken Breasts
• 1 large Egg
• 1 tablespoon Lemon Juice
• 1 teaspoon Dijon Mustard
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black Pepper
• 1 cup Avocado Oil
• 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon Onion Powder
• 2 tablespoons Fresh Parsley

Directions

Step 1

Begin by preparing the paleo mayonnaise. In a tall container, add the egg, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, a pinch of the salt, and 1 cup of avocado oil.

Step 2

Insert an immersion blender into the container and, ensuring the blade sits at the bottom, turn it on. Blend until the ingredients emulsify into a thick, creamy mayonnaise.

Step 3

Once the mayonnaise is formed, taste and add more lemon juice or salt if desired. Set aside 1/2 cup of the mayonnaise for the chicken and reserve the rest in a covered container in the fridge for another use.

Step 4

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 5

Place the chicken breasts on a cutting board. If they are particularly thick, pound them gently with a meat mallet to ensure even cooking.

Step 6

In a medium bowl, mix together the 1/2 cup of prepared paleo mayonnaise, garlic powder, paprika, onion powder, remaining salt, and black pepper. Stir until well combined.

Step 7

Coat each chicken breast generously with the mayonnaise mixture, ensuring they are well covered on all sides. Transfer them to the prepared baking sheet.

Step 8

Bake the chicken in the preheated oven for 22-25 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) and the chicken is cooked through.

Step 9

Once done, remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes.

Step 10

Garnish the chicken with fresh chopped parsley before serving.

Step 11

Serve warm and enjoy your paleo mayonnaise chicken as part of a healthy, grain-free meal!
