INGREDIENTS :

• 1 c. light mayonnaise or Greek yoghurt (I used ½ of each)
• 6 chicken breasts
• 1/2 c. Parmesan cheese and reserve more for top
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 1/2 teaspoons seasoning salt
• 1/2 teaspoon pepper

DIRECTIONS :

Step 1: Prepare the oven. Preheat it to 375 degrees. Using cooking spray, grease a 9 x 13-inch pan. Inside the prepared pan, lay the chicken.

Step 2: Combine the light mayonnaise or Greek yoghurt, garlic powder, seasoning salt, Parmesan cheese, and pepper until well mixed. Over each piece of chicken, evenly spread the mixture and top with the rest of the fresh Parmesan.

Step 3: Place in the preheated oven and bake for about 45 minutes, uncovered.
