Tender Chicken Delight Recipe
Ingredients:
| Ingredient | Amount |
|---|---|
| Boneless chicken breasts | 4 (about 1 lb / 450 g) |
| Yogurt or mayonnaise | 1 cup |
| Garlic powder | ½ teaspoon |
| Grated Parmesan cheese | 1 cup |
| Salt | 1 teaspoon |
| Black pepper | ½ teaspoon |
Instructions:
Step 1: Prep the Chicken
Make three shallow slits in each chicken breast.
Step 2: Prepare the Coating
In a small bowl, mix 1 cup yogurt or mayonnaise, half of the Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
Step 3: Marinate (Optional)
For extra flavor, marinate the chicken in the fridge overnight.
Step 4: Coat and Arrange
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the chicken on a baking tray and coat each piece evenly with the yogurt or mayonnaise mixture.
Step 5: Add Cheese and Bake
Sprinkle the remaining Parmesan over the chicken. Bake for 40–45 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Step 6: Serve
Remove from the oven and serve hot.
Notes:
- For a lighter version, use strained yogurt instead of mayonnaise.
- Try other cheeses like Asiago or Romano for different flavor variations.
- Pair with roasted vegetables or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
