Melt in Your Mouth Chicken
Description
This recipe combines mayonnaise, freshly grated Parmesan, garlic powder, seasoned salt, and black pepper to create a rich topping spread over chicken breasts. Baking at 375°F for 45 minutes allows the chicken to cook thoroughly while the topping browns and crisps slightly. The creamy mixture helps retain moisture in the chicken, producing a tender interior.
The relatively simple ingredient list and easy method make it convenient for an approachable main dish offering a balance of savory and creamy flavors. Optional garnishing with chopped parsley can add color and a fresh note when served.

- 1 cup mayonnaise or Greek yogurt

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F.
- In a small mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise, freshly grated parmesan cheese and seasonings.
- Spread the mixture over top of the chicken breast and place in a glass baking dish or a metal baking pan.
- Bake at 375°F for 45 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and the topping is golden brown.
