This low carb mayonnaise and parmesan chicken

Here’s a simple and delicious low-carb mayonnaise and parmesan chicken recipe that’s perfect for a keto or low-carb diet:

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
½ cup mayonnaise (you can use avocado mayo for a healthier option)
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese (or a mix of Parmesan and mozzarella for extra melt)
½ tsp garlic powder
½ tsp onion powder
½ tsp paprika (optional, for color and flavor)
Salt and pepper to taste
Chopped fresh parsley (optional for garnish)

Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease a baking dish or line with parchment paper.
Mix the topping:
In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix until creamy.
Prepare the chicken:
Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels. Place them in the baking dish.
Spread the mixture:
Evenly spread the mayo-parmesan mixture over the top of each chicken breast.
Bake:
Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F / 74°C) and the top is golden brown.
Optional broil:
For extra crispiness, broil for 2–3 minutes at the end—but watch closely so it doesn’t burn.
Serve:
Garnish with chopped parsley if desired. Serve with roasted veggies or a fresh green salad.

You can slice the chicken breasts in half horizontally if they’re thick, to speed up cooking.
Add crushed pork rinds or almond flour for extra crunch if desired.
