I remember the first time I made this Melt in Your Mouth Chicken- it was one of those busy weekdays when I needed something comforting yet simple. My kids asked what was for dinner before I even had a chance to look in the fridge! This dish has since become one of our favorites, not just because it’s so damn delicious, but because it is one of those reliable recipes that never fails to please. Creamy, cheesy, and perfectly seasoned, it is like a warm hug on a plate- just what you need at the end of a long day.

Ingredients:

• 4 Chicken breasts without skin
• 1 cup of mayonnaise (or plain Greek yogurt if you feel a bit healthier!)
• 1/2 cup grated Parmesan
• Season 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder

Instructions:

1️⃣ Preheat the oven to 375 °F (190 °C).

2️⃣ In a medium-sized bowl, mix the mayonnaise (or yoghurt), parmesan and all these nice spices to a creamy mass.

3️⃣ Place the chicken breast in a baking dish and spread the mixture generously on each side.

4️⃣ Put the dish in the oven and bake for about 45 minutes. You know it’s done when the chicken is tender and has a beautiful golden crust on top.

5️⃣ Let it cool for a few minutes, then place it and watch the faces of all people glow!

FAQs:

Q: Can I prepare this in advance?

A: Absolutely! You can mix the topping earlier in the day and store it in the fridge. When you’re done, just sprinkle it on top of the chicken and put it in the oven.

Q: What is a good side dish?

A: I love serving it with garlic mashed potatoes and a simple green salad for a balanced meal. Fried vegetables also work wonderfully!

Q: Can I freeze leftovers?

A: Yup! Once they have cooled down, simply pack into an airtight container and freeze for up to 2 months. Heat again slightly to retain the juicy texture.

Notes:

For an extra cheesy twist, sprinkle some shredded mozzarella or cheddar on top before baking.

Don’t be shy with the garlic powder, if you’re a garlic lover add a little extra for more punch!

If your chicken breast is extra thick, you can cut it in half so that it cooks evenly.

Let the chicken rest for a few minutes after baking, so that the delicious juices can settle again.
