Do you want soft, juicy and flavorful chicken? Then this Hellmann’s Mayo Chicken Recipe is perfect for you. Using Hellmann’s mayonnaise keeps the chicken tender and moist.
Ingredients
- 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.
Notes
- 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.
