Equipment

Ingredients

  • 2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breast
  • 1 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 1 cup parmesan cheese grated and divided

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees and spray a baking dish with non-stick cooking spray.
  • In a small bowl, mix the mayonnaise, garlic powder, salt, pepper, paprika, Italian seasoning, 1/2 cup of the parmesan cheese, and red pepper flakes, and mix until combined.
  • Place the chicken breasts into a baking dish, spread the mayo mixture on top of the chicken breasts and sprinkle the remaining parmesan cheese on top.
  • Bake for 30-40 minutes or until an internal temperature reaches 165 degrees.
