Melt in your mouth Chicken
This is one of those recipes I make over and over again. On those days when I get home late to start dinner, this is my go-to recipe. Melt in your mouth chicken is just that. It melts in your mouth.
Melt in Your Mouth Chicken is a classic recipe that’s been around for ages. Its origins are unclear, but I’m glad whoever came up with it did.
The idea of topping chicken breast with mayo and Parmesan is pure genius! The mixture turns beautifully golden post-baking, and it smells phenomenal, too.
The flavor is so rich, so creamy, and so addictive!
More importantly… OMG… the chicken is insanely tender and moist! That’s something that’s hard to come by with baked chicken breast.
Best of all, this recipe is impossible to mess up. Even if you’re a newbie in the kitchen, you can easily pull it off.
If you’re looking for a dish to shock and impress your family and friends, this is the one.

Tips for Achieving Melt-in-Your-Mouth Chicken:
1. Marinate: Marinate the chicken in a mixture of acid (such as lemon juice or vinegar) and oil to help break down the proteins and tenderize the meat.
2. Pound: Pound the chicken to an even thickness to ensure it cooks evenly and prevents it from becoming tough.
3. Don’t Overcook: Cook the chicken until it reaches the recommended internal temperature, but avoid overcooking it, as this can make it dry and tough.
4. Rest: Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving to allow the juices to redistribute and the meat to relax.
5. Use a Meat Thermometer: Use a meat thermometer to ensure the chicken has reached a safe internal temperature.
