This Melt-In-Your-Mouth Baked Chicken recipe is a simple yet flavorful dish that will become a family favorite. The creamy parmesan topping keeps the chicken moist and adds a deliciously cheesy crust.

Ingredients

Scale

Chicken:

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

Creamy Topping:

  • 1 cup mayonnaise
  • Substitute with plain Greek yogurt for a healthier option
  • 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon seasoned salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper.
  2. Mix the Creamy Topping: In a medium bowl, combine mayonnaise (or Greek yogurt), parmesan cheese, seasoned salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Mix until smooth and well combined.
  3. Prepare the Chicken: Pat the chicken breasts dry using paper towels. Place them evenly in the prepared baking dish.
  4. Spread the Topping: Use a spatula or spoon to evenly coat the top of each chicken breast with the creamy parmesan mixture.
  5. Bake to Perfection: Bake uncovered for 45 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the top is golden brown.
  6. Rest and Serve: Allow the chicken to rest for 5 minutes before serving to lock in the juices.

Notes

  • For added flavor, sprinkle some extra parmesan cheese on top before serving.
  • This dish pairs well with a side of roasted vegetables or a fresh green salad.
