Tender Chicken Delight
Ingredients:
| Ingredient | Quantity |
|---|---|
| Boneless chicken breasts | 4 (approx. 1 lb / 450g) |
| Mayonnaise or Greek yogurt | 1 cup |
| Garlic powder | 1 teaspoon |
| Parmesan cheese, divided | 1 cup |
| Seasoning salt | 1 teaspoon |
| Black pepper | ½ teaspoon |
Instructions:
- Marinate the Chicken:
Slice each chicken breast into three uniform pieces. Place them in a bowl, cover, and refrigerate overnight to marinate. This helps lock in moisture and flavor. - Preheat the Oven:
Set your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a baking dish. - Mix the Topping:
In a bowl, combine the mayonnaise (or Greek yogurt), ½ cup of the Parmesan, garlic powder, seasoning salt, and black pepper. Stir until smooth and fully incorporated. - Assemble the Dish:
Arrange the marinated chicken pieces in a single layer in the prepared baking dish. Evenly spread the creamy mixture over each piece, coating thoroughly. - Top and Bake:
Sprinkle the remaining ½ cup Parmesan cheese over the coated chicken. Bake for 40–45 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and the topping is golden and bubbling. - Serve and Enjoy:
Remove from the oven and let rest briefly before serving. Perfect with a side of vegetables, salad, or rice.
