Parmesan Chicken Casserole
Description
Parmesan Chicken Casserole features diced, skinless chicken breasts coated in a seasoned mixture of mayonnaise, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, and seasoning salt. Baking the chicken in this mixture at 375°F allows it to cook evenly while the cheese melts and forms a flavorful top layer. The mayonnaise provides moisture that keeps the chicken tender, though it may release some liquid during baking, giving the dish a slightly saucy consistency.
The casserole works well served on its own or accompanied by pasta or rice, which can soak up the flavorful juices. Diced chicken pieces make it easy to portion and eat, appealing to those who prefer bite-sized protein portions.
When serving, using a slotted spoon helps drain any excess liquid. Some cooks use a cooling rack to elevate the chicken during baking, reducing liquid accumulation. These approaches ensure a better texture and presentation. Adjust seasoning as desired to suit taste preferences.
Ingredients
- 6 chicken breast boneless, skinless, diced
- 1 cup mayonnaise or Greek yogurt
