- Easy to make ahead.
What You Need
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup mayonnaise
- 1/2 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
How to Make Melt in Your Mouth Chicken Breasts
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Preheating ensures the chicken bakes consistently.
- In a small bowl, combine 1/2 cup mayonnaise, 1/2 cup shredded Parmesan cheese, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, 1 teaspoon minced garlic, and 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder. Stir until smooth and creamy.
- Lightly coat a baking dish with non-stick spray. Place 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts in the baking dish in a single layer.
- Spoon the Parmesan-mayo mixture over each chicken breast. Spread it evenly to cover each piece. This layer will keep the chicken moist and add a rich, savory flavor.
- Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 45 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C). The coating should be golden brown, and the chicken tender.
- Allow the chicken to rest for a few minutes before serving. Serve warm, paired with sides like steamed vegetables or a fresh salad.
