Description

This Melt In Your Mouth Chicken Breast recipe features tender, juicy chicken breasts coated in a flavorful Parmesan and mayo mixture, baked to perfection for a golden, savory crust. It’s an easy, quick-to-prepare dish that’s perfect for weeknight dinners or meal prepping.

Ingredients

Chicken

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

Sauce

  • ½ cup mayonnaise (or Greek yogurt for a lighter option)
  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ½ tsp black pepper

Garnish

  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure it reaches the correct temperature for baking the chicken.
  2. Prepare the Sauce: In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise (or Greek yogurt), grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Stir until the mixture is smooth and well blended, creating a rich, flavorful coating for the chicken.
  3. Arrange the Chicken: Place the boneless, skinless chicken breasts in a greased baking dish, arranging them in a single layer for even cooking.
  4. Coat the Chicken: Evenly spread the prepared mayonnaise and Parmesan mixture over each chicken breast, ensuring full coverage for maximum flavor and a crispy topping.
  5. Bake: Bake the chicken in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). The top should develop a golden brown crust, indicating the cheese and mayo mixture has baked perfectly.
  6. Garnish and Serve: Remove the chicken from the oven, garnish with freshly chopped parsley for added color and freshness, and serve warm for a delicious, melt-in-your-mouth experience.

Notes

  • For a lighter option, substitute mayonnaise with Greek yogurt without compromising flavor.
  • Ensure chicken is cooked to an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C) for food safety.
  • Serve with steamed vegetables, rice, or a fresh salad for a balanced meal.
  • Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
