Preheat your oven to 375Β°F (190Β°C).
Lightly grease a baking dish with olive oil and set aside.
In a mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, dried basil, paprika, salt, black pepper, and lemon juice. Stir until well mixed.
Place the chicken breasts on a clean surface. If needed, pound them to an even thickness using a meat mallet to ensure even cooking.
Pat the chicken breasts dry with a paper towel, then season them lightly with additional salt and pepper.
Coat each chicken breast completely with the mayonnaise mixture, making sure itβs covered on all sides.
Arrange the coated chicken breasts in the prepared baking dish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165Β°F (74Β°C) and the tops are golden brown.
If desired, switch to broil for the last 1-2 minutes to achieve a crispier top.
Remove from the oven and let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving to allow the juices to redistribute.
Serve hot, with your favorite low carb sides, such as steamed vegetables or a fresh green salad.
