Equipment

  • 9x13 inch Baking Dish
  • Mixing Bowl

Ingredients
  

  • 6 chicken breasts
  • 1 cup mayonnaise or 1 cup non-fat plain or vanilla yogurt
  • 1/3 cup Parmesan cheese grated
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp lemon pepper
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
  • Place the chicken breasts in a single layer in the prepared baking dish.
  • In a mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise (or yogurt), grated Parmesan, salt, lemon pepper, and garlic powder until evenly mixed.
  • Spread the mayonnaise-Parmesan mixture evenly over the top of each chicken breast.
  • Optionally sprinkle additional Parmesan over the coated chicken.
  • Bake uncovered for 40–45 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).

Notes

  • Use plain or vanilla yogurt as a lighter substitute for mayo.
  • Ensure chicken reaches 165°F (74°C) for safety.
  • You can sprinkle extra Parmesan before baking for a crispier top.
