Here’s a simple Melt in Your Mouth Chicken recipe that’s creamy, flavorful, and super tender.
Ingredients:
• 2 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts (cut in half to make 4 pieces)
• 1 cup mayonnaise (or Greek yogurt for a lighter version)
• ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning (or dried oregano)
• ½ teaspoon salt
• ½ teaspoon black pepper
• ½ teaspoon paprika (optional, for color)
Instructions:
1. Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a baking dish lightly.
2. Mix the Topping: In a bowl, combine mayonnaise, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper.
3. Coat the Chicken: Place chicken pieces in the baking dish. Spread the mixture evenly over the top of each piece.
4. Bake: Bake uncovered for 25-30 minutes or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
5. Broil (Optional): For a golden-brown crust, broil for 2-3 minutes at the end.
6. Rest & Serve: Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes, then serve warm with rice, mashed potatoes, or a fresh salad.
Tips:
• Add a pinch of cayenne pepper if you like a little spice.
• Try using sour cream instead of mayo for a tangier flavor.
• Leftovers store well in the fridge for 3-4 days.
