- 1 cup mayonnaise
- 4 cloves garlic, pressed
- 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh rosemary
- 1 teaspoon salt
- freshly ground black pepper to taste
- 2 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves, halved horizontally
- 1 cup white rice
- 1 cup water
- 3/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese, or more to taste
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- Whisk mayonnaise, garlic, rosemary, salt, and black pepper together in a bowl. Spread mayonnaise mixture evenly over each piece of chicken.
- Spread rice out into the bottom of a 9×13-inch baking dish. Pour water over rice. Place chicken pieces on top of rice and top with Parmesan cheese.
- Bake in the preheated oven until chicken breasts are no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, 35 to 45 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
