Prepare the Chicken:
Begin by cutting each chicken breast into three equal pieces. Place the chicken pieces in a bowl and let them marinate in the refrigerator overnight for enhanced flavor.
Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Prepare the Coating Mixture:
In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise (or Greek yogurt), half of the Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, seasoning salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.
Arrange the Chicken:
Take a baking dish and arrange the marinated chicken pieces evenly.
Coat with Mixture:
Spread the mayonnaise mixture over each chicken breast, ensuring they are evenly coated.
Sprinkle with Parmesan Cheese:
Sprinkle the tops of the chicken breasts with the remaining Parmesan cheese for an extra cheesy crust.
Bake:
Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 40 to 45 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the coating is golden brown.
Serve:
Once cooked, remove the dish from the oven and serve this delightful dish to your eagerly awaiting guests or family members.
Notes:
You can substitute mayonnaise with Greek yogurt for a tangy twist and lighter option.
Feel free to experiment with different cheeses, such as Asiago or Romano, to customize the flavor profile to your liking.
Serve this Tender Chicken Delight alongside a fresh salad or roasted vegetables for a complete and satisfying meal that’s sure to please.
