Ingredients

1 cup mayonnaise
½ cup Parmesan cheese
1 teaspoon Southern Soul House Seasoning
½ teaspoon onion powder
3-4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 tablespoon fresh parsley - optional

Instructions

Set oven to 375 degrees.
In a mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise, Parmesan cheese, seasoning and onion powder.
Place the chicken in a baking dish making sure they are not overlapping. Evenly coat the chicken breasts with the mayonnaise mixture.
Bake for approximately 45 minutes until the chicken is cooked and the topping is golden brown. You can test with an instant-read thermometer - the internal temp should read at 165 degrees.
Remove from the oven, sprinkle with fresh parsley if desired and serve.

Notes

Recipe Variations:

- Spice it up: Add a pinch of cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes to the mayonnaise mixture for a bit of heat.

- Herb it up: Mix in some dried herbs like thyme or rosemary for extra flavor.

- Lighter option: Swap the full-fat mayo for a low-fat version or use Greek yogurt for a tangier, lighter coating.

How To Store: Place any leftovers in an airtight container and keep them in the refrigerator for 3-4 days. You can reheat them in the microwave, but for the best texture, warm them in the oven at 350°F until heated through.
