Description

This Melt In Your Mouth Chicken is creamy, savory, and full of flavor. With just a handful of ingredients, it comes together quickly and bakes into tender, juicy perfection. The rich parmesan and seasoned mayo (or Greek yogurt) topping creates a golden, flavorful crust that makes this dish irresistibly good — no leftovers guaranteed!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

  • 1 cup mayonnaise

    • Substitute with plain Greek yogurt for a healthier option

  • ½ cup grated parmesan cheese

  • 1 teaspoon seasoned salt

  • ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder


Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven

  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C)

  • Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper

2. Mix the Creamy Topping

  • In a medium bowl, combine:

    • 1 cup mayonnaise (or Greek yogurt)

    • ½ cup parmesan cheese

    • Seasoned salt, black pepper, and garlic powder

  • Mix until smooth and well combined

3. Prepare the Chicken

  • Pat the chicken breasts dry using paper towels

  • Place them evenly in the prepared baking dish

4. Spread the Topping

  • Use a spatula or spoon to evenly coat the top of each chicken breast with the creamy parmesan mixture

5. Bake to Perfection

  • Bake uncovered for 45 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the top is golden brown

6. Rest and Serve

  • Allow the chicken to rest for 5 minutes before serving to lock in the juices

Notes

  • Adjust seasoning to taste if using reduced-sodium parmesan or salt

  • Greek yogurt makes the recipe tangier and lighter

  • Leftovers make excellent sandwich or wrap fillings
