Method

Set your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
In a mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise, Parmesan cheese, seasoning, and onion powder.
Place the chicken in a baking dish. Make sure the pieces do not overlap. Coat the chicken breasts evenly with the mayonnaise mixture.

Notes

For a spicier version, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes to the mayonnaise mixture. You can mix in dried herbs like thyme or rosemary for different flavors. For a lighter coating, swap the full-fat mayonnaise for a low-fat version or use Greek yogurt. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3 to 4 days. Reheat in the microwave, or warm them in the oven at 350°F for the best texture.
