Melt In Your Mouth Chicken Bake
Description
The recipe starts with cubed boneless chicken breasts arranged in a baking dish. A creamy topping is prepared by combining mayonnaise or Greek yogurt, shredded Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, red pepper flakes, seasoned salt, and ground black pepper. This mixture is spread uniformly over the chicken.
Italian bread crumbs are sprinkled on top to create a crunchy baked crust. Baking at 375 degrees Fahrenheit for 30 to 35 minutes cooks the chicken fully while melting the cheese blend and browning the bread crumb topping.
The result is tender chicken with a rich, flavorful coating that complements a variety of sides. Serving the chicken on pasta or rice allows the sauce to be absorbed or enjoy it on its own for a satisfying entree.
Ingredients
- 1 lb chicken breast boneless, diced
- 3/4 cup mayonnaise or Greek yogurt
- 1 cup Parmesan Cheese shredded
- 1/2 teaspoon seasoned salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper ground
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 1/4 cup Italian bread crumbs
Instructions
- Grease a 9 x 13 baking pan and place diced chicken on the bottom.
- In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise (or yogurt), Parmesan cheese, seasoned salt, pepper, garlic, and red pepper flakes.
- Spread mixture evenly on top of chicken.
- Sprinkle bread crumbs on top of mayonnaise mixture.
- Place pan in preheated oven, 375 degrees, and bake for about 30-35 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through.
- Remove pan from oven and use a slotted spoon to serve chicken on top of pasta, rice, or by itself. Enjoy!
