MIYM Chicken Recipe
Ingredients
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup mayonnaise or plain Greek yogurt
- 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp seasoning salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- Optional garnish: chopped parsley or fresh herbs
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
- Place the chicken breasts in the baking dish in a single layer.
- In a small bowl, mix together the mayo (or Greek yogurt), Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, seasoning salt, and pepper.
- Spoon the creamy mixture evenly over the top of each chicken breast, covering completely.
- Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the top is golden brown. (Chicken should reach an internal temp of 165°F.)
- Let rest for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with parsley if desired.
Helpful Tips
- Even Cooking: Pound the chicken to even thickness for consistent baking.
- Make it crispier: Broil for the last 2-3 minutes to get the top extra golden and bubbly.
