Calories: 314kcal
Equipment
- 9x13 inch Baking Dish
- Mixing Bowl
Ingredients
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup light mayonnaise (or plain Greek yogurt)
- 1/2 cup freshly shredded Asiago cheese, plus more for topping
- 1.5 teaspoons seasoning salt (such as Lawry's)
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking dish. Pat the chicken breasts dry and place them in the dish in a single layer.
- In a medium bowl, combine the mayonnaise (or Greek yogurt), 1/2 cup shredded Asiago cheese, seasoning salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Stir until a smooth, thick paste forms.
- Spread the creamy mixture evenly over each chicken breast, covering the top and sides completely. Sprinkle additional shredded Asiago cheese generously over the top.
- Bake uncovered for 40-45 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F) and the top is golden brown. Let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Notes
Pro Tips: For the crispiest, most golden top, use freshly shredded Asiago cheese instead of pre-shredded, as it melts better. Pat the chicken breasts completely dry before adding the sauce to ensure it sticks. For a complete one-pan meal, add chopped broccoli or cauliflower florets around the chicken before baking.
