Melt In Your Mouth Chicken Breast Recipe

Discover the best Melt In Your Mouth Chicken Breast Recipe! Juicy, creamy, and packed with flavor, perfect for a quick and delicious family dinner. 

  • Total Time: 40-45 minutes
  • Yield: 4 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 cup sour cream (or Greek yogurt for a lighter option)
  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon paprika (for color and slight smokiness)

Instructions

  • Preheat & Prep: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a baking dish with cooking spray.

  • Make the Sauce: In a bowl, mix sour cream, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, Italian seasoning, salt, pepper, and paprika until well combined.

  • Coat the Chicken: Place the chicken breasts in the baking dish and evenly spread the creamy mixture over the top.

  • Bake: Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).

  • Broil for Perfection (Optional): If you want a golden, crispy top, broil for an additional 2-3 minutes at the end.

  • Rest & Serve: Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh parsley and enjoy.

Notes

  • Substitutions: Greek yogurt can be used instead of sour cream for a lighter option.
  • Cheese Variation: Parmesan adds a rich, nutty flavor, but you can also use mozzarella for a creamier texture.
  • Spice Level: Add a pinch of red pepper flakes or cayenne for a bit of heat.
  • Cooking Tip: If using thicker chicken breasts, consider pounding them to an even thickness to ensure even cooking.
  • Storage: Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Reheating: To maintain moisture, reheat in the oven at 300°F (150°C) for 10-15 minutes instead of using a microwave.
  • Pairing Suggestions: Serve with roasted vegetables, garlic mashed potatoes, or a fresh garden salad for a balanced meal.
