Melt in Your Mouth Chicken
Description
The Melt in Your Mouth Chicken recipe uses mayonnaise or Greek yogurt combined with Parmesan cheese, seasoning salt, black pepper, and garlic powder to create a flavorful topping spread over chicken breasts. Baking at 375°F (190°C) for about 45 minutes cooks the chicken fully while allowing the topping to brown slightly, contributing a rich and creamy texture. The Parmesan cheese adds nuttiness and depth, complementing the savory seasonings.
The chicken develops a tender interior due to the moisture retained by the mayonnaise, making it pleasant both fresh and as leftovers. It is a straightforward dish suitable for serving alongside steamed vegetables, salads, or grains, matching the simple yet satisfying flavor profile.
Ingredients
- 4 chicken breast boneless, skinless
- 1 cup mayonnaise or Greek yogurt for a healthier option
- 1/2 cup Parmesan Cheese
- 1 teaspoon seasoning salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
Instructions
- In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise, Parmesan cheese, seasoning salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
- Spread the mixture evenly on top of the chicken breasts.
- Place chicken into a baking dish and bake in preheated oven, 375 degrees, for about 45 minutes, or until cooked through (internal temperature of 165 degrees).
- Remove from oven and serve!
