Melt In Your Mouth Chicken

 This is another recipe I got from Soup Lovers (https://soup-lovers.servi.tn/melt-in-your-mouth-chicken/). It is very tasty and easy to make. I made almost no changes, but they are in square brackets as usual.

This is the photo from the original recipe.

They did not make the breasts thin.

I highly recommend making them thin!

Ingredients:

• 3 thin sliced boneless skinless chicken breast halves [about 2 ½ lbs]
• 1 cup mayonnaise (or Greek yogurt for a lighter option)
• 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese [I used fresh Parmesan]
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tsp onion powder
• 1 tsp paprika
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp black pepper
• Fresh parsley (for garnish)

Instructions:

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking dish with parchment paper or lightly grease it with oil. [I used a 11x15 glass pan.]

Prepare the chicken:

In a bowl, mix the mayonnaise, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.

[Pat chicken pieces dry.] Coat each chicken breast generously with the mixture, ensuring it’s well-covered on all sides.

Bake the chicken:

Place the coated chicken breasts in the prepared baking dish. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F/74°C) and golden brown on top.

Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving. [I never do this.]

Enjoy this tender and juicy chicken that truly melts in your mouth!

[Serve with a veggie of your choice.]
