Melt in Your Mouth Chicken


If you’ve never had it, Melt in Your Mouth Chicken is a classic dish that transforms boring chicken breast into a superb dinner.

Chicken breast isn’t exactly my number one choice of meat, but this recipe has completely changed my mind.

Melt in Your Mouth Chicken is a classic recipe that’s been around for ages. Its origins are unclear, but I’m glad whoever came up with it did.

The idea of topping chicken breast with mayo and parmesan is pure genius! The mixture turns beautifully golden post-baking, and it smells phenomenal, too.

The flavor is so rich, so creamy, and so addictive!

 

INGREDIENTS

2 large boneless skinless chicken breasts, sliced in half lengthwise
1 cup freshly grated parmesan, divided
2/3 cup mayonnaise
1 1/2 teaspoons garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon onion powder
1/8 teaspoon paprika
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

 

PREPARATION

Preheat oven to 375°F.
In a small bowl, stir together the mayonnaise, half of the parmesan, the garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
Place chicken in baking dish and spread mayonnaise mixture over each piece. Sprinkle parmesan over the top.
Bake until chicken is cooked through, 20-25 minutes. Broil 1 minute to brown top, if desired.
Let rest 5 minutes, then serve. Enjoy!
