Ingredients You Need for Hellmann’s Mayo Chicken Recipe

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1/2 cup Hellmann’s mayonnaise
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon dried Italian herbs (optional)

Optional toppings:

Fresh parsley for garnish
Lemon wedges

Instructions

Preheat the Oven
Set the oven to 400°F (200°C). Let it preheat fully to ensure even cooking.
Prepare the Chicken
Rinse chicken breasts and pat them dry with paper towels. This helps the coating stick.
Mix Mayo and Spices
In a small bowl, mix Hellmann’s mayonnaise, garlic powder, paprika, salt, pepper, and Italian herbs.
Coat the Chicken
Use a spoon or brush to spread the mayonnaise mixture evenly over each chicken breast.
Add Parmesan Cheese
Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese on top of each chicken breast. Press lightly so it sticks.
Place Chicken in Baking Dish
Put the coated chicken breasts in a greased or lined baking dish. Make sure they are spaced evenly.
Bake in Oven
Bake for 25–30 minutes until the chicken is cooked through. Internal temperature should reach 165°F (75°C).
Optional Broil for Crispy Top
Turn the oven to broil and cook for 2–3 minutes to brown the top lightly. Watch carefully to avoid burning.
Let Chicken Rest
Remove chicken from the oven. Let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing. This keeps it juicy.
Serve and Garnish
Slice the chicken and serve with parsley or lemon wedges. Enjoy warm and flavorful chicken.

Recipe Tips

Use room temperature mayonnaise for easy spreading.
Pound the chicken to even thickness for uniform cooking.
Add extra garlic or herbs for stronger flavor.
Broil carefully to get a golden crispy top.
Pair with sides like rice, veggies, or mashed potatoes for a complete meal.
