Equipment

oven proof baking dish

Ingredients

4 chicken breasts
1 cup thinly sliced onions
½ cup mayonnaise
½ cup shredded parmesan cheese
½ tsp garlic powder
salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 375 and grease an 8x8 oven-proof casserole dish - I use an avocado spray. Place the chicken breasts in the dish and season with sea salt and fresh pepper. Set aside.
In a small bowl mix together the onions, mayo, parmesan cheese, and garlic powder.
Spoon a dollop of the cheese mixture onto each chicken breast and spread it evenly to fully cover the surface of the chicken.
Place in the oven and bake for 45 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through to 165°F.

Notes

Use an instant read thermometer to check the temperature of the chicken to ensure it is cooked thoroughly to 165 degrees F.
Garnish with chopped parsley for some color.
Serve with Butternut Squash Noodles, Herbed Rice, or mashed potatoes. It is also lovely paired with salads like a Caesar salad or Broccoli Salad.
Substitute the full chicken breasts with thinner chicken cutlets for quicker cooking time.
Swap out the mayo for natural Greek yogurt for a lightened-up version.
