Description
Melt In Your Mouth Chicken is a creamy baked chicken recipe that lives up to its name—juicy, tender chicken breasts smothered in a rich, cheesy topping that bakes to golden perfection. Quick to prep, low-carb, and incredibly flavorful, it’s an easy weeknight dinner the whole family will love.
Ingredients
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 cup mayonnaise or plain Greek yogurt
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp onion powder
1 tsp salt
½ tsp black pepper
Optional: ½ tsp paprika or Italian seasoning
Instructions
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease or line a 9×13-inch baking dish.
Pound chicken breasts to an even ¾-inch thickness for even cooking.
In a bowl, mix mayo or yogurt, Parmesan, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
Spread mixture evenly over each chicken breast.
Place chicken in the baking dish. Sprinkle paprika or Italian seasoning if using.
Bake uncovered for 35–45 minutes, or until the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C) and topping is bubbly and golden.
Rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Notes
Use Greek yogurt for a tangier flavor or mayo for a richer texture.
Pounding the chicken ensures even cooking and tenderness.
Letting the chicken rest locks in juices.
Pair with low-carb sides like roasted vegetables or cauliflower mash for a keto-friendly meal.
