🍗 Melt-In-Your-Mouth Chicken
🛒 Ingredients
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup mayonnaise (or Greek yogurt for a lighter version)
- ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- ½ tsp paprika
- Salt & black pepper to taste
👩🍳 Instructions

In a bowl, combine mayo, Parmesan, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. - Prepare chicken
Place chicken breasts in a lightly greased baking dish. - Spread mixture
Coat each chicken breast evenly with the mayo-Parmesan mixture. - Bake
Bake uncovered for 35–40 minutes, until chicken is tender and cooked through (165°F / 74°C internal temp). - Rest & serve
Let rest 5 minutes before serving.
