Melt in Your Mouth Chicken
Melt in your mouth chicken with a creamy mayo-parmesan topping that bakes into a golden crust and keeps the chicken tender.
Servings: 6 servings
Ingredients
- 2 1/2 lbs chicken breasts boneless, skinless, about 6 breasts
- 1 cup mayonnaise
- 3/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
- 1 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp seasoned salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley chopped, for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat and prep: Preheat the oven to 375°F and lightly grease a 9x13 baking dish. Arrange the chicken breasts in the dish in a single layer.
- Mix the topping: In a small bowl, stir together the mayonnaise, parmesan, garlic powder, seasoned salt, and pepper.
- Coat the chicken: Spread the mixture evenly over each chicken breast, all the way to the edges so nothing bakes bare.
- Bake: Bake for 35-40 minutes, until the chicken reaches 165°F on a meat thermometer.
- Broil for color: Switch the oven to broil and broil for 2-3 minutes, watching closely, until the top is spotty golden.
- Rest and serve: Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes, then sprinkle with parsley and serve.
Notes
Spread the mayo-parmesan topping all the way to the edges of each breast so nothing bakes bare. Bake to an internal temperature of 165°F.
