Melt In Your Mouth Chicken Breast

A fantastic, easy-to-prepare dish with a creamy Parmesan coating that keeps the chicken moist and flavorful.

  • Total Time: 55 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 cup mayonnaise (or plain Greek yogurt for a lighter version)
  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • Optional: ½ teaspoon paprika or Italian seasoning (for topping)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper.
  2. Pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness, about ¾ inch thick.
  3. In a medium bowl, mix together the mayonnaise, Parmesan, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper until smooth.
  4. Spread the mixture evenly on top of each chicken breast.
  5. Sprinkle with optional paprika or Italian seasoning.
  6. Bake uncovered for 35–45 minutes until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and the top is golden brown.
  7. Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

For added flavor, marinate the chicken in the mayonnaise mixture for a few hours or overnight. Use fresh herbs for a fresh taste.
