“Melt in Your Mouth Chicken” is a popular recipe known for its tender, juicy, and flavorful chicken that literally “melts in your mouth.” It’s often made with simple ingredients and baked to perfection. Here’s a basic recipe to try:
Melt in Your Mouth Chicken Recipe
Ingredients:
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup mayonnaise (or Greek yogurt for a lighter option)
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp seasoning salt (or regular salt)
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp paprika (optional, for added flavor)
- 1/2 cup breadcrumbs (optional, for a crispy topping)
Instructions:
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Prepare the chicken: Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels and place them in a baking dish.
- Make the sauce: In a bowl, mix the mayonnaise (or Greek yogurt), Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, seasoning salt, pepper, and paprika until well combined.
- Coat the chicken: Spread the mixture evenly over the chicken breasts, covering them completely. If desired, sprinkle breadcrumbs on top for a crispy crust.
- Bake: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25–30 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and the top is golden brown.
- Rest and serve: Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving. This helps keep it juicy.
Tips:
- For extra flavor, add herbs like parsley, thyme, or rosemary to the sauce.
- If the chicken breasts are thick, you can pound them to an even thickness for more even cooking.
- Serve with mashed potatoes, rice, or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
