Melt In Your Mouth Chicken Recipe

How to Make Melt In Your Mouth Chicken

Step 1 – Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly spray your baking dish with nonstick spray.

Step 2 – Make the Mixture

In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, Parmesan cheese, salt, pepper, minced garlic, and garlic powder. Stir until smooth and creamy.

Step 3 – Prepare the Chicken

Place the chicken breasts in the prepared baking dish. Spread the mayonnaise mixture evenly over each breast, covering the tops completely.

Step 4 – Bake to Perfection

Bake uncovered for about 30–35 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F).

Step 5 – Serve & Enjoy

Remove from oven and let it rest for 5 minutes. Garnish with a sprinkle of parsley or paprika for color. Serve while hot — and get ready for compliments!

What to Serve With Melt In Your Mouth Chicken

Pair this creamy chicken with:

• Garlic mashed potatoes or buttered rice

• Steamed broccoli, asparagus, or green beans

• Garden salad with lemon vinaigrette

• Buttery dinner rolls or garlic bread for soaking up that sauce

Tips for the Perfect Chicken

• Pound thicker chicken breasts for even cooking.

• Use real mayonnaise — not Miracle Whip — for the best texture and flavor.

• If your oven runs hot, tent lightly with foil for the first 20 minutes.

• Let the chicken rest before slicing — it keeps the juices inside.

Storage & Reheating

Refrigerate: Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3–4 days.
Freeze: Wrap tightly and freeze up to 2 months.
Reheat: Bake at 325°F until warmed through, or microwave gently with a splash of milk or broth to keep it moist.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use chicken thighs instead?

Absolutely! They’ll be extra juicy — just bake a few minutes longer.

Is there a lighter alternative to mayonnaise?

Yes — try Greek yogurt or light mayo for a lower-calorie version that’s still creamy.

How do I know when the chicken is done?

Use a meat thermometer. Chicken is perfectly cooked at 165°F (74°C).
