Description

Creamy Garlic Parmesan Chicken is a delicious and easy baked chicken dish featuring tender boneless, skinless chicken breasts topped with a rich and flavorful mixture of mayonnaise, Parmesan, mozzarella, and garlic. This comforting meal is perfect for a quick weeknight dinner or an impressive meal for guests, offering a cheesy and garlicky crust while keeping the chicken moist and juicy.

Ingredients

Scale

Chicken

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

Cheese Mixture

  • 1 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese
  • 1 cup mozzarella cheese, grated
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced

Seasoning

  • Seasoning salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Oven and Baking Dish: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Spray a baking dish with cooking spray to prevent sticking and for easy cleanup.
  2. Mix the Cheese Sauce: In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, Parmesan cheese, grated mozzarella, and minced garlic. Stir well to create a creamy cheese mixture that will coat the chicken.
  3. Season the Chicken: Place the chicken breasts in the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle seasoning salt and black pepper over them according to your taste, keeping in mind that Parmesan adds saltiness so adjust salt sparingly.
  4. Top Chicken with Cheese Mixture: Add a generous dollop of the cheese mixture on top of each chicken breast. Spread the mixture evenly to completely cover each piece of chicken.
  5. Bake the Chicken: Place the baking dish into the preheated oven and bake at 375°F for 40 to 45 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked through and the cheese topping is melted and bubbly with a slight golden crust.

Notes

  • Make sure chicken is cooked to an internal temperature of 165°F for safety.
  • You can swap mozzarella for provolone or another melting cheese if preferred.
  • Adjust garlic amounts based on your flavor preference; add more for extra garlic punch.
  • Serve with a side of steamed vegetables, salad, or over pasta for a complete meal.
  • Leftovers can be refrigerated up to 3 days and reheated gently in the oven or microwave.
