# How to Make It:
01 -
Preheat the oven to 190°C.
02 -
In a medium bowl, combine mayonnaise, Parmesan cheese, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, onion powder, Italian seasoning, paprika, black pepper, lemon juice, melted butter, and salt. Mix until a smooth, homogenous sauce forms.
03 -
Arrange the chicken breasts in a baking dish and generously spread the creamy mixture over each piece, ensuring complete coverage.
04 -
Drizzle any remaining sauce evenly over the coated chicken breasts.
05 -
Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 25–30 minutes, until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 74°C and is fully cooked through.
06 -
Remove the foil and continue baking for an additional 5–10 minutes to allow the surface to develop a golden, crisped finish.
07 -
Remove the dish from the oven and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes to retain its juices.
08 -
Top the chicken with freshly chopped parsley and serve at once.
