Baking Tips

Use chicken breasts of similar size for even cooking time

For extra tender chicken, brine the breasts in salt water for 30 minutes before cooking

Don't skimp on the mayo mixture - it keeps the chicken moist while cooking

The mayonnaise completely transforms during baking, becoming a creamy sauce, not greasy

A meat thermometer is the best way to ensure your chicken is perfectly cooked without drying out

For a lighter version, you can substitute half the mayonnaise with Greek yogurt

Let the chicken rest after baking to allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat

If the topping browns too quickly, tent with foil for the remainder of cooking time

This dish reheats well, making it perfect for meal prep

For extra flavor, you can add 1 teaspoon of dijon mustard to the mayonnaise mixture

Ingredients

Custard Cream

For the Chicken:

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 2 pounds total)

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

For the Creamy Topping:

1 cup mayonnaise

1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 1/2 teaspoons seasoned salt

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

1 teaspoon dried parsley

1/2 teaspoon dried basil

1/2 teaspoon dried oregano

For Garnish:

2 tablespoons fresh chopped parsley

Lemon wedges (optional)

Equipment:

9x13 inch baking dish

Mixing bowl

Meat thermometer

Aluminum foil (optional)

Measuring cups and spoons

Instructions

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.

Pat chicken breasts dry with paper towels. If breasts are very thick, slice them horizontally to create thinner cutlets or pound them to an even thickness of about 1/2 inch.

Season chicken on both sides with 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.

Place seasoned chicken breasts in the prepared baking dish, arranging them so they don't overlap.

In a mixing bowl, combine mayonnaise, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, seasoned salt, black pepper, lemon juice, parsley, basil, and oregano. Mix until well combined and smooth.

Spread the mayonnaise mixture evenly over each chicken breast, covering the top completely with a thick layer.

Bake uncovered in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).

For extra golden color, you can switch the oven to broil for the last 2-3 minutes, watching carefully to prevent burning.

Remove from oven and let rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Sprinkle with fresh chopped parsley and serve with lemon wedges if desired.
