Salt and black pepper, to taste
Optional: chopped parsley or Italian seasoning for garnish
How to Make Melt-In-Your-Mouth Chicken Breasts
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a baking dish.
Arrange the chicken breasts in a single layer in the dish. Pat them dry with paper towels for best results.
Mix the topping: In a bowl, combine mayonnaise, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
Spread generously over each chicken breast, fully covering the top.
Bake uncovered for 30–35 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the top is lightly golden.
Optional finish: Broil for 2–3 minutes for a beautifully browned top.
Rest for 5 minutes, garnish, and serve.
