Internet's Best Low-Carb Baked Mayo-Parmesan Chicken

I saw variations of this Low-Carb Baked Mayo-Parmesan Chicken with rave reviews all over the internet, so here's my version of this dish that the internet feels is the best baked chicken! And this tasty chicken is also Keto, low-glycemic, gluten-free, and can be South Beach Diet friendly. Use the Recipes-by-Diet-Type Index to find more recipes like this one. 

In case you missed my welcome to 2017 post about how I want my blog to work for people who follow different types of carb-conscious diets, one thing I mentioned is that the South Beach Diet was sold to a company that sells pre-packaged meals. But that doesn't mean that there aren't plenty of South Beach Diet fans still around, and recently I discovered two very active Facebook groups for South Beach Diet friendly recipes and South Beach Diet Support. 

And it was in one of those groups where someone shared a chicken recipe in a comment that really caught my eye. Of course if you know me at all you could guess it was partly the use of mayonnaise as an

ingredient to keep chicken moist in the oven that appealed to me. I highlighted and printed the recipe that was shared there, and then as I always do, I tried to find the original source. 

What I did end up finding was variations of this recipe with rave reviews all over the internet, some with no attribution at all, but many attributed to another website or blog in an endless loop of internet recipe posting that didn't seem to start in any particular place! Or if there was a starting place, I never did find it. But when I tried out the recipe with Kara, we absolutely loved the Internet's Best Low-Carb Baked Mayo-Parmesan Chicken we came up with. We did tweak it to use slightly less mayo and Parmesan and add a little poultry seasoning, but the idea was essentially the same. And we could definitely understand why the recipe has been shared far and wide on the internet!

And although I thought briefly about making it again to get better photos, I decided everyone who's been faithfully avoiding carbs for the first week of January deserves an easy dinner that's really a treat. Trust me when I say that this chicken is fully deserving of the title Internet's Best, and don't wait too long to make it! (And if anyone sees a site that claims to be the original source, I would love to credit them!)
