Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, trimmed of excess fat
- 1 cup mayonnaise or Greek yogurt
- 1 cup parmesan cheese, sharp Cheddar, or Asiago, divided
- 1 tsp seasoning salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- Milk or buttermilk for soaking
Instructions
- Soak: Cut each chicken breast into 3 large chunks or strips and place them in a bowl of milk or buttermilk to soak for 20-30 minutes or overnight.
- Prepare Topping: Preheat oven to 375 F. In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise, 1/2 cup of parmesan cheese, and seasonings.
- Assemble: Place chicken into a 9×13 baking dish, spread the mixture evenly on top of the chicken breasts, and sprinkle with the remaining parmesan.
- Bake: Bake for about 40-45 minutes, or until cooked through. Optional: finish under the broiler for a minute or two to get them extra browned on top.
- Serve: Serve with steamed broccoli and season with a dash of fresh parsley, if desired.
Notes
Brining or marinating the chicken in milk or buttermilk is a key step to ensure the breasts stay extra juicy when baked.
