Melt in your mouth Chicken
Melt in Your Mouth Chicken is a classic recipe that’s been around for ages. Its origins are unclear, but I’m glad whoever came up with it did.
The idea of topping chicken breast with mayo and parmesan is pure genius! The mixture turns beautifully golden post-baking, and it smells phenomenal, too.
The flavor is so rich, so creamy, and so addictive!
More importantly… OMG… the chicken is insanely tender and moist! That’s something that’s hard to come by with baked chicken breast.
Best of all, this recipe is impossible to mess up. Even if you’re a newbie in the kitchen, you can easily pull it off.
If you’re looking for a dish to shock and impress your family and friends, this is the one.
Ingredients
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 Cup mayonnaise
1/2 Cup Shredded Parmesan cheese
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
1 tsp minced garlic
1 tsp garlic powder
How To Make Melt in your mouth Chicken:
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
In a small bowl, add the mayonnaise, parmesan cheese, and seasonings.
Mix to combine.
Place the chicken in a baking dish, sprayed with a non-sticking baking spray.
Spread the mixture on top of the chicken breasts.
Bake the chicken for 45 minutes, or until cooked through.
Serve warm!
For variations on the Melt in Your Mouth Chicken, you can try adding some fresh herbs like chopped parsley, basil, or thyme to the mayo mixture for an extra burst of flavor. You could also mix in some Dijon mustard or hot sauce for a bit of tang and heat.
If you want to switch up the cheese, using a blend of mozzarella and cheddar can give it a different taste and texture. For a bit of crunch, consider topping the chicken with some breadcrumbs or crushed crackers before baking.
As for tips, make sure to let the chicken rest for a few minutes after baking to keep it juicy. Using a meat thermometer is a great way to ensure it’s cooked perfectly. And if you’re looking to save time, you can prep the mayo mixture ahead of time and store it in the fridge until you’re ready to use it. Enjoy your cooking!
To store your Melt in Your Mouth Chicken, let it cool completely after cooking. Once cooled, you can place it in an airtight container.
It’s best to store it in the refrigerator if you plan to eat it within a few days. Make sure to consume it within 3-4 days for the best quality.
If you want to keep it longer, you can freeze it. Wrap each piece tightly in plastic wrap or aluminum foil, then place them in a freezer-safe bag or container.
When you’re ready to enjoy it again, you can thaw it in the fridge overnight and reheat it in the oven at 350°F until heated through. This will help retain its moisture and flavor. Enjoy!
