Chicken
- 4 Chicken Breasts, boneless and skinless
Coating Mixture
- 1 cup Mayonnaise
- ½ teaspoon Onion Powder
- 1 teaspoon Soul Seasoning or seasoned Salt
- ½ cup Parmesan Cheese, freshly grated
Garnish
- Parsley for garnish, optional
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to prepare for baking the chicken.
- Prepare Baking Dish: Lightly spray the bottom of a casserole baking dish with nonstick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Make Coating Mixture: In a medium-sized bowl, combine the mayonnaise, onion powder, Soul seasoning (or seasoned salt), and freshly grated Parmesan cheese. Stir well to blend all ingredients thoroughly.
- Arrange Chicken: Place the chicken breasts flat in the prepared baking dish, ensuring they are not touching each other for even cooking.
- Coat Chicken: Spoon and spread the mayonnaise mixture evenly over each chicken breast, coating completely.
- Bake Chicken: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 40 to 45 minutes or until the thickest part of the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
- Garnish and Serve: Remove the chicken from the oven, sprinkle with chopped parsley and a little additional Parmesan cheese for garnish if desired. Serve hot immediately.
Notes
- Ensure the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F for safe consumption.
- Freshly grated Parmesan adds better flavor and texture compared to pre-grated.
- Use Soul Seasoning or a good quality seasoned salt for a flavorful kick.
- Nonstick spray helps with easy cleanup and prevents sticking.
- Can be served with sides such as steamed vegetables, rice, or a fresh salad.
