This Cheesy Parmesan Chicken has quickly become one of my go-to recipes for busy weeknights when I don’t want to have to worry about fussy recipes or anything remotely labor intensive. It’s a simple recipe with just three ingredients: chicken breasts, mayonnaise, and parmesan cheese.

Curiously, the limited combination of ingredients makes for tender, flavorful chicken, which could easily be gussied up with the seasoning of your choice. A few of my favorites are herbs de Provence,  Cajun seasoning, and Italian seasoning.

When I make this meal I like to use the precut (raw) chicken tenders from the butcher instead of the full-sized chicken breasts because it takes less time for the meat to cook through and I think it bakes a bit more evenly.

Of course, I’m telling you this while my photos clearly show the big ol’ chicken breasts. It’s all I had on hand that day! Honestly! Either way, they will taste great.

If you’re looking for equally easy sides to serve with this meal, I recommend couscous and my all-time favorite, roasted carrots. For the carrots, simply cut into pieces, place on a baking dish or sheet pan, and toss with a few tablespoons of olive oil and salt and pepper to taste. Bake for about 30-40 minutes at 400 degrees, or whatever temperature the oven happens to be at for the main dish.
