Equipment
- Baking Sheet
- Oven
- Mixing Bowl
- Frying Pan
- Grater
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 your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. This is a crucial step, as it ensures even cooking for the chicken.
- While the oven is heating, take your chicken breasts and place them inside a greased 9×13 pan. Make sure they’re arranged evenly for consistent cooking.
- In a small mixing bowl, combine mayonnaise, parmesan cheese, salt, lemon pepper, and garlic powder. Stir until all the ingredients are well blended.
- Once your mixture is ready, spread it generously over the tops of each chicken breast. Don’t be shy; the more sauce, the better!
- If you're feeling extra indulgent, sprinkle on some more parmesan cheese over the top for a delicious, cheesy crust.
- Now, it's time to bake. Place the pan into the preheated oven and allow it to bake for 40 to 45 minutes. The chicken should be cooked through and the top should be a beautiful golden brown.
