Ingredients
  

Coating
  • 1 cup Mayonnaise
  • 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon Southern Soul House Seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon Onion powder
Chicken
  • 3-4 Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley optional

Equipment

  • Mixing bowl
  • Baking dish

Method
 

  1. Set your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise, Parmesan cheese, seasoning, and onion powder.
  3. Place the chicken in a baking dish so the pieces do not overlap. Coat the chicken breasts evenly with the mayonnaise mixture.
  4. Bake for about 45 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and the topping is golden brown. Check the internal temperature with a thermometer; it should read 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  5. Remove the dish from the oven. Sprinkle with fresh parsley if you are using it, and then serve.

Notes

For a spicier dish, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes to the mayonnaise mixture. You can mix in dried herbs like thyme or rosemary for more flavor. For a lighter coating, swap the full-fat mayonnaise for a low-fat version or use Greek yogurt. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3 to 4 days. Reheat leftovers in the microwave, or warm them in the oven at 350°F for the best texture.
