“Melt in Your Mouth Chicken” is a delicious, easy-to-make recipe featuring tender, juicy chicken breasts topped with a creamy, flavorful coating that literally melts in your mouth when baked. Here’s a simple recipe:
Ingredients:
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup mayonnaise (or Greek yogurt for a lighter option)
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp dried Italian seasoning
- 1/2 tsp paprika (optional, for color)
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions:
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a baking dish or line it with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
- Prepare Chicken: Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels and season both sides with salt and pepper.
- Make the Coating: In a mixing bowl, combine mayonnaise, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, Italian seasoning, and paprika (if using). Mix well.
- Coat the Chicken: Spread the mayonnaise mixture evenly over the top of each chicken breast. Be generous, as this coating will keep the chicken moist and flavorful.
- Bake: Place the coated chicken breasts in the prepared baking dish. Bake uncovered for 25–30 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C).
- Broil for Crispiness (Optional): For a golden, slightly crispy top, broil the chicken on high for 2–3 minutes at the end of baking.
- Serve: Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving. Pair it with a side of steamed vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a fresh green salad.
