  2. Mix the creamy topping by whisking together mayonnaise or Greek yogurt, Parmesan cheese, dry minced onion, garlic powder, dried parsley, salt, and pepper in a small bowl until well combined.
  3. Prepare the chicken by halving thick boneless skinless breasts to ensure they cook through in about the same time.
  4. Arrange the chicken breasts in a greased baking dish, laying them flat.
  5. Spread the creamy mayo or yogurt mixture generously over each chicken breast, covering them completely.
  6. Bake the chicken for 35-45 minutes, or until cooked through and the top is golden brown. Check with a meat thermometer to ensure it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).

For a complete meal, serve with a side salad or steamed vegetables. Ensure chicken breasts are of even thickness for consistent cooking. Use a meat thermometer to check for doneness. Greek yogurt should be full-fat for maximum creaminess. Consider mixing in ranch dressing for a different flavor profile.
