2. **Prepare the chicken:** Place the chicken breasts in the baking dish. If the chicken breasts are very thick, you can pound them to an even thickness to ensure even cooking.
3. **Make the topping:** In a small bowl, mix together the mayonnaise, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, black pepper, and salt until well combined.
4. **Spread the mixture:** Evenly spread the mayonnaise mixture over the top of each chicken breast.
5. **Add breadcrumbs (optional):** If you want a crispy topping, sprinkle the breadcrumbs evenly over the mayonnaise mixture.
6. **Bake:** Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F or 74°C) and the top is golden and bubbly.
7. **Garnish and serve:** Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
### Tips:
– **Customize the flavor:** You can add other spices or herbs like Italian seasoning, dried thyme, or rosemary to the mayo mixture for different flavor variations.
– **Side dishes:** Serve this dish with a side of roasted vegetables, steamed broccoli, or a simple green salad.
