  • Cooking Instructions
  • Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F and place the chicken breasts in a baking dish. Make sure they're laid out evenly for consistent cooking.
  • In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, seasoning salt, and black pepper. Mix well until you achieve a smooth consistency.
  • Spread a thin layer of the mayonnaise mixture generously on top of each chicken breast, ensuring they're well coated.
  • Bake the chicken in the preheated oven for 30-45 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees F. For a golden-brown topping, switch to the broil setting for an additional 2-3 minutes, keeping a close eye to prevent burning.
  • Once cooked, remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before serving. This will help retain the juices.
  • Extra Tips
  • When preparing this dish, it's important to use boneless and skinless chicken breasts for the best results. Melt in Your Mouth Chicken is a quick and easy chicken dinner option that can be prepared in just 10 minutes.
  • If you prefer a more flavorful experience, consider marinating the chicken for a few hours before baking.
  • Additionally, you can experiment with different herbs and spices in the mayonnaise mixture to suit your taste preferences.
  • For a healthier twist, substitute the mayonnaise with plain Greek yogurt or sour cream, although this may alter the flavor and texture slightly.
  • Enjoy your meal fresh, but it can also be made ahead and reheated for convenience!
