Moist baked chicken breasts topped with creamy Parmesan and subtle garlic and herb seasoning.

# Ingredients Required:

→ Chicken

01 - 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

# Guide to Cooking:

01 - Preheat the oven to 190°C. Grease a 23x33 cm baking dish or line it with parchment paper.
02 - Pound chicken breasts to an even thickness of approximately 2 cm to ensure uniform cooking.
03 - In a medium bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, grated Parmesan, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper until smooth.
04 - Spread the prepared mixture evenly over the surface of each chicken breast, covering completely.
05 - Place the chicken breasts into the baking dish and sprinkle with paprika or Italian seasoning if desired.
06 - Bake uncovered for 35 to 45 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 74°C and the topping turns golden.
07 - Allow the chicken to rest for 5 minutes to retain juiciness before serving.

# Extra Suggestions:

01 - Using Greek yogurt instead of mayonnaise reduces fat content significantly.
02 - Ensure chicken reaches an internal temperature of 74°C for safe consumption.
03 - Pounding the chicken promotes even cooking and tenderness.
