Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Chicken breasts
- 0.5 cups Mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoons Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoons Smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoons Cayenne pepper
- 1 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 1 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.
In a medium bowl, mix the mayonnaise, garlic powder, smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
Spread the spicy mayonnaise mixture evenly over both sides of the chicken breasts, ensuring they are well-coated.
Drizzle the coated chicken breasts with olive oil to help them crisp up in the oven.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for 22-25 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Once cooked, remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes to retain its juices.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley if desired and serve warm with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables, rice, or a crisp salad.
