Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 0.5 cup Whole30-compliant mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a mixing bowl, combine the Whole30-compliant mayonnaise, dijon mustard, fresh lemon juice, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix until smooth and well incorporated.
Place the chicken breasts on a cutting board. If desired, gently pound them to an even thickness for uniform cooking.
Brush both sides of the chicken breasts with olive oil.
Spread the mayonnaise mixture over the top of each chicken breast, ensuring an even coat.
Place the coated chicken breasts in a single layer in an oven-proof baking dish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Once baked, remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes.
Sprinkle the chopped fresh parsley over the chicken before serving for a fresh finish.
Serve the Whole30 Mayonnaise Chicken with a side of roasted vegetables or a tossed green salad for a complete meal.
