This Melt in Your Mouth Chicken recipe features tender boneless, skinless chicken breasts coated with a creamy mixture of mayonnaise or Greek yogurt, Parmesan cheese, and savory spices, then baked to golden perfection. The result is juicy, flavorful chicken with a cheesy, garlicky crust that’s perfect for an easy weeknight dinner.

Ingredients

Scale

Chicken

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

Topping

  • 1 cup mayonnaise or Greek yogurt
  • 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon seasoned salt (such as Lowry’s)
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper

Optional Garnish

  • Freshly chopped parsley

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to prepare for baking the chicken evenly.
  2. Make Topping Mixture: In a small mixing bowl, combine mayonnaise or Greek yogurt, freshly grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, seasoned salt, and ground black pepper. Mix thoroughly until smooth and well blended.
  3. Coat Chicken: Spread the prepared mixture evenly over the top of each chicken breast, covering completely to ensure flavor and moisture retention during baking.
  4. Bake Chicken: Place the coated chicken breasts in a glass baking dish or metal pan and bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the topping is golden brown and bubbly.
  5. Garnish and Serve: Optionally, sprinkle freshly chopped parsley over the cooked chicken for added color and a fresh flavor burst before serving.

Notes

  • You can substitute Greek yogurt for mayonnaise to reduce fat and add a slight tang.
  • Ensure chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) for safe consumption.
  • Use freshly grated Parmesan cheese for best flavor and texture in the topping.
  • Seasoned salt can be omitted or replaced with regular salt if preferred.
  • Serve with steamed vegetables or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
