Melt in your Mouth Chicken Bake


  • Author: twiza amys

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts

  • 1 cup mayonnaise or sour cream

  • ½ cup grated parmesan cheese

  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder

  • 1 teaspoon onion powder

  • ½ teaspoon paprika

  • ½ teaspoon black pepper

  • Optional garnish: chopped parsley


Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the Oven

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a baking dish.

Step 2: Prepare the Chicken

Pat chicken breasts dry with paper towels and arrange them in a single layer in the prepared baking dish.

Step 3: Make the Creamy Topping

In a bowl, mix mayonnaise (or sour cream), parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and black pepper until smooth.

Step 4: Coat the Chicken

Spread the creamy mixture evenly over the top of each chicken breast, covering them completely.

Step 5: Bake

 

Bake uncovered for 40–45 minutes, or until chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and topping is lightly golden. Let rest 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • Do not overbake—use a thermometer for best results.

  • Thicker chicken breasts may need extra time.

  • Topping locks in moisture, preventing dryness.

 

  • Resting time keeps juices inside the chicken.
