Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Chicken Breasts
- 1 large Egg
- 1 tablespoon Lemon Juice
- 1 teaspoon Dijon Mustard
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black Pepper
- 1 cup Avocado Oil
- 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Onion Powder
- 2 tablespoons Fresh Parsley
Instructions
Begin by preparing the paleo mayonnaise. In a tall container, add the egg, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, a pinch of the salt, and 1 cup of avocado oil.
Insert an immersion blender into the container and, ensuring the blade sits at the bottom, turn it on. Blend until the ingredients emulsify into a thick, creamy mayonnaise.
Once the mayonnaise is formed, taste and add more lemon juice or salt if desired. Set aside 1/2 cup of the mayonnaise for the chicken and reserve the rest in a covered container in the fridge for another use.
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Place the chicken breasts on a cutting board. If they are particularly thick, pound them gently with a meat mallet to ensure even cooking.
In a medium bowl, mix together the 1/2 cup of prepared paleo mayonnaise, garlic powder, paprika, onion powder, remaining salt, and black pepper. Stir until well combined.
Coat each chicken breast generously with the mayonnaise mixture, ensuring they are well covered on all sides. Transfer them to the prepared baking sheet.
Bake the chicken in the preheated oven for 22-25 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) and the chicken is cooked through.
Once done, remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes.
Garnish the chicken with fresh chopped parsley before serving.
Serve warm and enjoy your paleo mayonnaise chicken as part of a healthy, grain-free meal!
