Parmesan Crusted Mayo Chicken

INGREDIENTS:

• 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts trimmed of fat.
• salt & pepper
• 1 cup infused mayonnaise (see 41cBlog for recipe)
• 1 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
• 1 tsp Italian seasoning
• 1/2 tsp garlic powder

INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Lightly grease a 9×13″ baking dish with non-stick cooking spray.
2. Arrange the chicken breasts evenly on the prepared dish. Salt & pepper them.
3. In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, and garlic powder until evenly combined.
4. Add the mayo mixture in dollops evenly out over the chicken, then use a spatula to spread as necessary to cover the chicken completely.
5. Bake the chicken at 400° for 20-25 minutes, or until a meat thermometer reads 165°. If the cheesy crust is browning too much before the meat’s done, loosely tent it with aluminum foil.
6. Remove the baking dish from the oven and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving.
