Melt in Your Mouth Chicken

Melt in Your Mouth Chicken is a simple and delicious dish that’s perfect for a quick dinner. The chicken breasts are coated in a creamy, flavorful mixture that keeps them juicy and tender as they bake. Here’s how you can make it:

Ingredients:

• 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 1 cup mayonnaise (or Greek yogurt for a lighter option)
• 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Optional: fresh herbs for garnish (like parsley or chives)

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven:
   • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a baking dish or line it with parchment paper.
2. Prepare the Coating:
   • In a medium bowl, mix together the mayonnaise (or Greek yogurt), grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper until well combined.
3. Coat the Chicken:
   • Place the chicken breasts in the baking dish. Spread the mayonnaise mixture evenly over each piece of chicken, making sure they are fully covered.
4. Bake the Chicken:
   • Bake the chicken in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the top is golden brown. The internal temperature of the chicken should reach 165°F (74°C).
5. Serve:
   • Once done, remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes. Garnish with fresh herbs if desired, and serve with your favorite side dishes like roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a fresh salad.

Tips:

• For extra flavor, add a pinch of paprika or Italian seasoning to the mayonnaise mixture.
• If you prefer a crispy top, you can broil the chicken for the last 2-3 minutes of baking, watching closely to prevent burning.
• This recipe can be easily doubled for a larger crowd.

This Melt in Your Mouth Chicken is sure to become a family favorite with its rich flavor and tender texture. Enjoy it as a comforting meal any night of the week!
