Okay, Let’s Talk Ingredients

Alright, so here’s the deal. You’ll need:
– 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts. (I know, classic!)
– 1/2 cup mayo (or Greek yogurt if you’re feeling fancy!)
– 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese.
– Garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. The usual suspects.
– And some fresh parsley for that pop of color at the end. 🌿

Honestly, I get all my stuff from the grocery store down the street, and I’m pretty sure they think I live there. Like, I walk in, and the cashier just looks at me and says, “The usual?!” LOL.

So Here’s Why I Make This Constantly

Okay, picture this: I made this recipe for the first time when I was having a *seriously* rough week. I just needed comfort food, right? So, I whipped this up, and my whole kitchen smelled amazing. While it was baking, I was pacing around like a dog waiting for a walk, and when it came out? Oh my gosh! I took my first bite, and it was like a warm hug from the inside. Ever since then, it’s been my go-to for those “I need something comforting” days. Plus, it’s sooo easy!

The One Trick That Changes Everything

Okay, so listen up. The magic really happens when you spread that mayo mixture on the chicken. Don’t just slap it on there—*really* take your time to cover every inch. It creates this creamy, crispy goodness that’s just to die for! Trust me, I’ve rushed it before, and it just wasn’t the same. 🙈

Don’t Mess This Up (My Top Tips)

1. Check your chicken: Seriously, don’t just walk away and forget about it! Start checking at 25 minutes. I mean, we want juicy, not dry, right?

2. Let it rest: After you pull it out of the oven, let it chill for a few minutes. I know it’s hard to wait, but it helps the juices redistribute. (I’ve made the mistake of diving in too soon, and it was like a chicken fountain…not cute.)

3. Use a meat thermometer: If you don’t have one, get one! Seriously, it’s worth it. You want that internal temp at 165°F (75°C). No one wants to risk undercooked chicken. Yikes!

How to Keep Them From Disappearing (Or, How to Store Them)

Okay, so if (and I mean if) you have leftovers (which you probably won’t, let’s be real), just pop them in an airtight container and stick them in the fridge. They’ll keep for about 3 days. When you reheat, just be gentle—no one likes rubbery chicken!
