4.7 from 132 reviews

This Melt-In-Your-Mouth Chicken recipe delivers juicy, tender chicken breasts coated in a creamy, cheesy mayonnaise and parmesan mixture, baked to a perfect golden finish. It’s an easy, flavorful, and satisfying dish perfect for weeknight dinners or special occasions.

Ingredients

Scale

Chicken

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

Coating Mixture

  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon seasoning blend (such as Italian seasoning or garlic powder, salt, and pepper)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Coating Mix: In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise, grated parmesan cheese, and seasoning blend thoroughly to create a creamy coating.
  2. Coat the Chicken: Spread the mixture generously and evenly over each chicken breast, ensuring they are fully covered to lock in moisture and flavor during baking.
  3. Bake the Chicken: Place the coated chicken breasts on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a greased baking dish. Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for about 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is juicy inside and golden brown on top. Use a meat thermometer to ensure an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).

Notes

  • You can add extra herbs like thyme or rosemary to the mayonnaise mixture for additional flavor.
  • For a lower-fat option, substitute mayonnaise with Greek yogurt, though the texture will be slightly different.
  • Make sure not to overbake to retain juicy chicken breasts.
  • Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated gently to avoid drying it out.
