This Melt-In-Your-Mouth Chicken recipe features tender chicken breasts baked in a creamy, flavorful Parmesan sauce seasoned with garlic, paprika, and tarragon, making it an easy and satisfying dinner option.

  • Total Time: 50 minutes
  • Yield: 6 servings

Ingredients

Chicken

  • 4 chicken breasts

Parmesan Sauce

  • ¼ cup Mayonnaise
  • ½ cup Buttermilk
  • ½ cup Parmesan cheese
  • ½ tsp Garlic Powder
  • ½ tsp Paprika
  • ¼ tsp dried Tarragon
  • Salt and Pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly coat a baking dish with nonstick spray to prevent sticking.
  2. Make the Sauce: In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, buttermilk, grated Parmesan, garlic powder, paprika, dried tarragon, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Mix thoroughly until smooth and well blended.
  3. Prepare Chicken: Arrange the chicken breasts evenly in the prepared baking dish, ensuring they are spaced out for even cooking.
  4. Coat Chicken: Generously spread the Parmesan sauce over each chicken breast, making sure they are well covered to achieve a rich, flavorful crust.
  5. Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake the chicken for 40 to 45 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked through and tender. The internal temperature should reach at least 165°F (74°C).

Notes

  • Use a meat thermometer to ensure the chicken is cooked safely and stays juicy.
  • For extra flavor, you can add fresh herbs like parsley or chives to the Parmesan sauce.
  • Serve with a side of steamed vegetables or a light salad for a balanced meal.
  • Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
