Melt In Your Mouth Chicken Recipe
This Melt In Your Mouth Chicken is a creamy, comforting classic that turns ordinary chicken breasts into something extraordinary. With a rich Parmesan and sour cream topping, it's the kind of no-fuss recipe that becomes a beloved family staple.
Ingredients
- 6 boneless, skinless chicken breasts medium-thick, trimmed
- 1 cup sour cream or plain Greek yogurt or mayonnaise
- 1 cup Parmesan cheese freshly grated, divided
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon seasoned salt
- 0.5 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon smoked paprika or Italian seasoning optional, for added flavor
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly coat a 9x13 baking dish with nonstick spray.
- In a medium bowl, mix together sour cream, 1 cup Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, seasoned salt, and black pepper until smooth.
- Place chicken breasts in the baking dish in a single layer. Spread the creamy mixture evenly over the chicken.
- Sprinkle the remaining Parmesan cheese on top of the coated chicken.
- Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the topping is lightly bubbling.
- For a golden crust, broil the chicken for 2–3 minutes at the end, watching carefully to avoid burning.
- Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy with rice, potatoes, or buttered noodles.
Notes
- Make ahead by prepping the topping and storing it with the chicken in the fridge a day early.
- Drain excess liquid before broiling for best texture.
- Customize the flavor with paprika or herbs as desired.
