Melt-In-Your-Mouth Chicken Recipe
Ingredients:
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup mayonnaise (or plain Greek yogurt for a lighter version)
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- 1/2 cup seasoned bread crumbs (optional, for added crunch)
Instructions:
- Preheat the oven:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a baking dish or line it with parchment paper. - Prepare the chicken:
Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and paprika on both sides. - Mix the topping:
In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise (or Greek yogurt), Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix until smooth. - Spread the mixture:
Evenly spread the mayonnaise mixture over the top of each chicken breast. If using breadcrumbs, sprinkle them on top for a crispy finish. - Bake:
Place the chicken in the prepared baking dish and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) and the top is golden and bubbly. - Broil (optional):
For a golden crust, broil the chicken on high for an additional 2-3 minutes, watching carefully to avoid burning. - Serve:
Serve hot with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a fresh salad.
