This is Melt-in-Your-Mouth Chicken that is sure to become a family favorite if it isn’t already—it’s incredibly tender, juicy and flavourful. The chicken breasts get slathered in a creamy blend of mayonnaise (or Greek yogurt), Parmesan cheese and seasonings, which forms a crisp-flavored crust as it bakes. Made with few ingredients and in a handful of steps, it is perfect for weeknight cooking or when you need comfort food.
Ingredients:
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
Chicken breasts are a lean, tender base for the dish. You could also use chicken thighs if you prefer dark meat.
1 cup mayonnaise (or plain Greek yogurt for a lighter option)
The mayonnaise brings creaminess and also aids in forming the crisp cheesy crust. Greek yogurt is an excellent substitute if you need to slim down your calorie intake.
1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
The Parmesan cheese adds a rich, nutty flavor to the chicken while baking to create a perfectly crispy texture.
1 tsp seasoning salt
Seasoning salt provides lots of flavor with just one spice. However much you like, depending on your taste.
1/2 tsp black pepper
Mildly spicy black pepper binds everything to the richness of the mayonnaise and the cheese.
1 tsp garlic powder
Garlic powder adds a savory, aromatic flavor that helps to round out the overall flavor of the dish.
