Equipment

  • Baking Dish

Ingredients
  

Chicken

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

Creamy Coating

  • 1 cup mayonnaise or plain Greek yogurt

  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  • Lightly oil or spray a 9×13-inch baking dish. Arrange the chicken breasts in a single layer.

Notes

This dish pairs beautifully with mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a crisp green salad. For a lighter version, swap mayo for Greek yogurt. Add fresh herbs or a bit of Dijon mustard for extra depth.
