Ingredients

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 1/2 teaspoon seasoned salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1 container (5.3 oz) plain Greek yogurt
1/2 cup parmesan cheese
1 teaspoon garlic powder

Instructions

Heat oven to 375 degrees. Spray a cookie sheet (12"x18") with cooking spray. If you are making a smaller half batch, then you will just need a 9x13 baking dish. Whatever you use, you don't want the chicken overlapping at all.
Slice each chicken breast in half lengthwise to form 2 thinner pieces from each one. You will end up with 8 thin pieces of chicken breasts. Arrange them on the cookie sheet.
** If your chicken breasts are smaller to begin with, you may not have to slice them to form thinner pieces. You may just want to use 6 chicken breasts if they are smaller to begin with. Cutting them in half lengthwise works best for larger pieces of chicken **
In a small bowl, stir together the seasoned salt and black pepper. Sprinkle it over the chicken pieces. In a separate bowl, combine the mayo, yogurt, parmesan cheese and garlic powder. Evenly divide the mixture among the chicken pieces. Spread it out over the entire piece of chicken so that it stays moist.
Bake for 25-35 minutes or until internal temperature reads 165 degrees. The cook time will vary depending on the thickness or thinness of the chicken breasts.
Sprinkle with additional parmesan cheese and/or chopped parsley if wanted. Leftover keep well in the fridge and can be reheated.

Notes

You don't have to slice the chicken breasts to make the thinner pieces. I just prefer it and think it works the best. If you just use the 4 large chicken pieces, you may have to increase the cook time to 40 minutes to make sure it's cooked through.
