Melt in Your Mouth Chicken

by

Ingredients:

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 cup mayonnaise (or Greek yogurt for a lighter option)
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional: fresh herbs for garnish (like parsley or chives)

Instructions:

  1. Preheat the Oven:
    • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a baking dish or line it with parchment paper.
  2. Prepare the Coating:
    • In a medium bowl, mix together the mayonnaise (or Greek yogurt), grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper until well combined.
  3. Coat the Chicken:
    • Place the chicken breasts in the baking dish. Spread the mayonnaise mixture evenly over each piece of chicken, making sure they are fully covered.
  4. Bake the Chicken:
    • Bake the chicken in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the top is golden brown. The internal temperature of the chicken should reach 165°F (74°C).
  5. Serve:
    • Once done, remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes. Garnish with fresh herbs if desired, and serve with your favorite side dishes like roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a fresh salad.

Tips:

  • For extra flavor, add a pinch of paprika or Italian seasoning to the mayonnaise mixture.
  • If you prefer a crispy top, you can broil the chicken for the last 2-3 minutes of baking, watching closely to prevent burning.
  • This recipe can be easily doubled for a larger crowd.

This Melt in Your Mouth Chicken is sure to become a family favorite with its rich flavor and tender texture. Enjoy it as a comforting meal any night of the week!
