Ingredients:
Ingredient | Quantity |
---|---|
Boneless, skinless chicken breasts | 4 |
Mayonnaise (or plain Greek yogurt) | 1 cup |
Grated Parmesan cheese | ½ cup |
Garlic powder | 1 teaspoon |
Onion powder | 1 teaspoon |
Italian seasoning | 1 teaspoon |
Salt | ½ teaspoon |
Black pepper | ½ teaspoon |
Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish) | — |
Instructions:
1. Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a baking dish so the chicken doesn’t stick.
2. Prepare the chicken: Place the chicken breasts in the dish and season both sides with salt and pepper for extra flavor.
3. Make the topping: In a medium bowl, mix together the mayonnaise (or Greek yogurt), Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, and Italian seasoning until smooth and creamy.
4. Spread and bake: Spoon the mixture evenly over the chicken breasts, covering them completely. Bake uncovered for 30–35 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
5. Broil for that golden touch: To get that irresistible bubbly, golden top, broil the chicken on high for 2–3 minutes right at the end.
6. Serve and enjoy: Sprinkle with fresh parsley before serving. This dish pairs beautifully with rice, pasta, or roasted vegetables for a complete, comforting meal.
Creamy, flavorful, and impossibly tender, this Melt-In-Your-Mouth Chicken is the perfect easy dinner recipe that feels like a restaurant-quality meal made right at home.
