Description

Melt-In-Your-Mouth Baked Chicken Breast

Creamy, Tender & Low-Carb Comfort Favorite

Goodbye Dry Chicken. Hello Juicy Perfection.

If baked chicken has ever let you down, this recipe is about to change everything. This melt-in-your-mouth baked chicken breast is unbelievably tender, rich with flavor, and topped with a creamy, cheesy crust that locks in moisture as it bakes. Best of all? It’s low-carb, keto-friendly, and made with simple pantry staples.

Ingredients

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
    (similar size for even cooking)

  • 1 cup mayonnaise
    (or full-fat Greek yogurt for a lighter option)

  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese

  • 1 tsp garlic powder

  • 1 tsp onion powder

  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning

  • ½ tsp paprika (sweet or smoked)

  • Salt & black pepper, to taste

  • Fresh parsley, chopped (optional garnish)

Instructions

1. Preheat & Prep

  • Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).

  • Lightly grease a baking dish or line with foil for easy cleanup.

2. Make the Creamy Topping

In a bowl, mix together:

  • Mayonnaise

  • Parmesan cheese

  • Garlic powder

  • Onion powder

  • Italian seasoning

  • Paprika

  • Salt and pepper

Stir until smooth. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.

3. Prepare the Chicken

  • Pat chicken breasts completely dry with paper towels.

  • Place them in the prepared baking dish.

  • Spoon the creamy mixture generously over each breast, covering the top completely.

4. Bake

  • Bake uncovered for 25–30 minutes, until:

    • The topping is golden and bubbly

    • Internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C)

If the topping browns too fast, loosely cover with foil.

5. Rest & Serve

  • Let chicken rest 5–10 minutes before serving.

  • Garnish with fresh parsley and spoon pan juices over the top.

Serving Suggestions

Low-Carb Pairings

  • Roasted broccoli or green beans

  • Cauliflower mash

  • Crisp green salad

Classic Comfort Sides

  • Buttered noodles

  • Rice or quinoa

  • Crusty bread to soak up the sauce

Notes

  • Pound thick chicken breasts to an even thickness

  • Use an instant-read thermometer—don’t overbake

  • Let the chicken rest before serving (this keeps it juicy!)

  • Grated Parmesan melts and browns better than shelf-stable varieties
