Ingredients
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts about 1 ½ pounds
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon cracked pepper
- ½ teaspoon salt

- 1 cup shredded Parmesan cheese divided
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder

- Fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
-
Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Lightly spray a 9×13 baking dish with nonstick spray.
-
Season the chicken on both sides with the paprika, salt, and pepper. Arrange in an even layer in the prepared baking dish.
-
Add the mayonnaise, ½ cup of Parmesan, garlic powder, and onion powder to a bowl and stir to combine. Spread the mixture evenly over each piece of chicken.

Sprinkle the remaining ½ cup of Parmesan over the top of each piece of chicken.
-
Bake for 25 minutes or until a meat thermometer reaches 165 degrees.

Sprinkle with parsley before serving.
Tips & Notes:
Adding the extra layer of Parmesan on top of the mayo mixture makes for a bit of a crispy crust.
This chicken turns out so tender and juicy thanks to the mayonnaise! The final product does NOT taste like mayo, so don’t be scared if you dislike mayo.
