This recipe promises exquisitely juicy and remarkably tender chicken breast, transforming a simple cut of meat into a delightful centerpiece.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 cup mayonnaise (or plain Greek yogurt for lighter version)
  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • Optional: ½ teaspoon paprika or Italian seasoning (for topping)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (for cooking)

Instructions

  1. Pat chicken breasts dry with paper towels. Pound each breast to an even ½-¾ inch thickness using a meat mallet or the flat side of a heavy pan.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine mayonnaise (or plain Greek yogurt), grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly until a smooth paste forms.
  3. Thoroughly coat each pounded chicken breast on all sides with the mayonnaise mixture. If desired, sprinkle with the optional paprika or Italian seasoning for extra flavor and color.
  4. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large, heavy-bottomed skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Carefully place coated chicken breasts in a single layer. Sear for 4-6 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
  5. Transfer the cooked chicken breasts to a clean plate or cutting board. Tent them loosely with aluminum foil and let rest for 5-10 minutes. Slice the chicken against the grain into ½-inch thick slices and serve immediately.
