Chicken is a staple at home. So it is just right to throw together another chicken dinner that my family will enjoy. This is where this Melt In Your Mouth Chicken comes in. This started with chicken in addition to mayo, Parmesan, and a couple of other easy seasonings. Prep this in five minutes, bake for another 40 – 45 minutes, then you are ready to devour this wonderful chicken dinner!

What You Need To Make This Melt In Your Mouth Chicken:

  • Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • Mayonnaise (use Greek yogurt for a healthier option)
  • Parmesan cheese (you can use sharp Cheddar or Asiago)
  • Seasoning salt
  • Black pepper
  • Garlic powder

Chicken breasts are incredibly versatile. But it is tricky to work with especially when baking in the oven. You do not want to end up with dry, tough, rubbery, and flavorless chicken!

Cook the chicken breast right and you’ll have flavorful, tender, juicy, and perfectly baked chicken breasts!

Steps To Make Melt-In-Your-Mouth Chicken

Step 1: Baking chicken breasts is tricky. Brine or marinating them is an absolute must! Start by slicing the chicken breasts into three large strips or chunks.

Frequently Asked Questions

What to serve Melt In Your Mouth Chicken

I like serving these Melt In Your Mouth Chicken with veggies such as steamed fresh broccoli. I love to garnish them also with some fresh parsley for extra flavor.

How long should I bake the chicken?

It all depends on the thickness of the chicken breasts. Although, a thin chicken will cook faster. Once the juices run clear and the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165 degrees F the chicken is done. Using a meat thermometer is ideal to make sure the chicken is cooked way through without over or under-cooking.
