👩🍳 Instructions
1️⃣ Preheat
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
Lightly grease a baking dish.
2️⃣ Make the Creamy Topping
In a bowl, mix:
- Mayo (or Greek yogurt)
- Parmesan
- Garlic powder
- Onion powder
- Paprika
- Salt & pepper
3️⃣ Assemble
- Place chicken in baking dish.
- Spread mixture evenly over the top of each piece.

💡 Make It Lighter
- Use plain Greek yogurt instead of mayo (higher protein, lower fat).
- Use reduced-fat Parmesan.
- Serve with roasted vegetables or a side salad instead of heavy sides.
🔥 Optional Flavor Variations
- Add Dijon mustard for tang.
- Sprinkle with crushed Ritz crackers before baking for a crispy top.
- Mix in chopped spinach for added nutrients.
