🍗 Melt In Your Mouth Chicken

Tender, juicy chicken baked in a creamy, tangy, cheesy topping that literally melts in your mouth. It’s easy, family-friendly, and takes minimal prep time.

Ingredients:

• 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (or thighs)

• 1 cup mayonnaise (or plain Greek yogurt for a lighter version)

• ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese

• 1 tsp garlic powder

• 1 tsp onion powder

• ½ tsp paprika (for color and flavor)

• ½ tsp salt

• ½ tsp black pepper

• Optional garnish: chopped parsley or green onions

Instructions:

1. Preheat Oven:
   375°F (190°C)

2. Prep Chicken:
   Pat chicken dry and place in a greased 9×13 baking dish.

3. Make the Topping:
   In a small bowl, mix together the mayo (or yogurt), Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.

4. Coat Chicken:
   Spread the mixture evenly over the chicken breasts.

5. Bake:
   Bake uncovered for 35–45 minutes (depending on thickness), or until internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the top is golden and bubbly.

6. Optional Broil:
   Broil for 2–3 minutes at the end to brown the top slightly.

7. Serve:
   Sprinkle with parsley or green onions if desired. Pair with rice, roasted veggies, or a side salad.

📝 Tips:

• Want more flavor? Add a pinch of crushed red pepper or a few dashes of hot sauce to the mayo mix.

• For added crunch, sprinkle breadcrumbs or crushed Ritz crackers on top before baking.
