A few nights ago, my mom text me these pictures and told me she had made this yummy recipe for my dad and her. The two of them LOVED it and she highly recommended it to me, especially with how simple it was. When I saw the picture, I knew it was something that I needed to try. My mom said it was full of flavor, moist, and best of all, simple to make! She made it along with our roasted garlic and Parmesan asparagus!!
Great job Mom, can’t wait to try this myself!!! : )
Using only 6 ingredients, this chicken comes together in no time, but is packed with flavor!
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup mayonnaise (or Greek yogurt for a healthier option)
- 1/2 cup parmesan cheese
- 1 tsp seasoning salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp garlic powder
-
In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise, parmesan cheese, seasoning salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
-
Spread the mixture evenly on top of the chicken breasts.
-
Place chicken into a baking dish and bake in preheated oven, 375 degrees, for about 45 minutes, or until cooked through.
-
Remove from oven and serve!
Slice the chicken through the middle from the side and slide in a big slice of Forest Ham with a little Mozzarella cheese for a different taste.
Should the chicken be covered at any point ?
Nope, the chicken doesn’t need to be covered 🙂
Thank you for the recipe. It has some zip.
It sure is yummy, 🙂
This would be amazing n the crockpot going to try it!
Great idea!!! I bet the chicken would be SO moist and packed with flavor in the slow cooker!! Let me know how it turns out, 🙂
How long would you cook in a crock pot?
Whatvif theres no oven?
I have been making this for years!!!!!!!!!!! My family loves it…..
I have never tried it in the slow cooker, but depending on whether the chicken was frozen or thawed, I would cook it on low for about 6-8 hours, 🙂
You can use a slow cooker to cook this if no oven is available, 🙂
Yea! It sure is an easy, delicious recipe 🙂
I have made this on fish fillets and broiled them. Sooooo good!
Oooooo sounds delicious! Ill need to remember that next time I pick up some fish, 🙂
Tried this several weeks ago and it was a big hit. Lastnight i switched the mayo for Miracle Whip and the seasonings for Mc Cormicks bbq seasoning and crumpled some Applewood smoked bacon on about 3/4 the way through cooking. It disappeared quick.
Ooooo that sounds AMAZING!!!! I love the addition of the bacon and bbq seasoning! I will definitely need to remember that for next time, 🙂
So glad it was a hit!!!
I made this last night and it was totally awesome!!! My husband said it was restuarant quality! Thanks for the recipe.
Oh awesome!!! I am sooooooo glad it was a hit!!! 🙂
Great and quick recipe. Too much seasoned salt for me and I had more chicken. I would also put the chicken on a rack in the pan. My guy loved it so I will be making it again substituting the mayo for Greek Yogurt. I just won’t tell him!
Glad it was a success!! I have used Greek yogurt a few times in place of the mayo and never had anyone mention it tasted different, hehe. Your secret is safe with me, 😉

Thank you so much for watching out for us, we appreciate it. 🙂
After reading what Forrest Walter added to the chicken, it made me think that in addition to the chicken and ham, how about adding “Ortega Chile” giving the whole concoction a little Mexican spiciness…Enjoy!
Great idea!! I bet that would add an amazing flavor to this!!! Yum!!
Can I use Veganaise as a substitute? I’m allergic.to eggs.
Sure! I have never tried it that way, but don’t see why it wouldn’t work, 🙂
I have a big batch of boneless chicken breasts in the fridge and I am going to try this tomorrow. Thanks so much!
Oh perfect! Keep us posted on how it turns out!!! 🙂
Do you need to add any water in the pan, so the chicken doesn’t dry out?
Nope, the chicken stays moist with the topping, so no need to add water, 🙂
Trying it out right now
Yum!!! Let us know how it turns out 🙂
Nice. A bible verse followed by an ad for Adult Toys. I’ll pass on coming back.
I need recipes for 2. That I can do in a crock pot. We spend 5 months in a motorhome with no oven. Any help will be appreciated. We eat mainly chicken. Fish. And pork chops. Not much beef.
Where did you see the ad for toys? We specifically filter our ads so that they stay family friendly. Please know that I will be looking into our ratings once again right now and removing anything inappropriate. I apologize for that being there as we try to keep things clean. So sorry 🙁
Most of our recipes serve 4-6 servings, so if you were to cut them in half, it would be the perfect size for 2. I will search around for some great recipes and post a few links shortly. Have a great day!! 🙂
Okay, just double checked with our advertisers and just changed a few more things to prevent those ads from ever coming through. One must have slipped through as our filter was on already. Again, I apologize for that being on the page and appreciate you bringing it to our attention so it could be taken care of. Have a great day!!
You sprinkle Italian bread crumbs on top & OMG its delicious
Good idea!! Ill have to try that next time!!! YUM! 🙂
Is the parmesan fresh or is dry ok
Personally, I always use the dry, but I have used the fresh and both ways work great!!
I make this alot and use Hellmans with olive oil and sprinkle seasoned bread crumbs over it as well. Its a well known Hellmans recipe..
Yummy!! That sounds delicious!!
I made this last night using Soy Free, Dairy Free, Pesto Veganaise instead of mayo, and Pampered Chef Moroccan Rub instead of seasoning salt. Total rock star results!! Will add this to regular rotation. Thanks for a great recipe. 🙂
Yea!! So glad you enjoyed it!! I love the changes you made to it, sounds delicious!!
Looks Great !
It definitely is 🙂
Is the chicken skinless
Yes, boneless, skinless chicken breasts 🙂
i love this chicken ,it’s so easy to make! What is the pasta in your picture? It looks yummy too?
That is actually just pasta mixed with some butter, minced garlic, and Parmesan cheese. My kids love it, so I included it with this dinner, hehe!
Indian food uses yogurt on chicken, and the Chinese use mayo on some chicken dishes. Always wondered why it was so moist!
Wondering if I could replace the seasoning salt with Good Seasons Italian Seasoning?
Oh I didn’t know that! Very interesting! Learn something new everyday, hehe!! Definitely makes chicken quite moist, 🙂
Definitely! That would be delicious!!
I add Italian bread crumbs to mine and it’s amazing!
Great idea! I love bread crumbs on my dishes, so I will definitely be trying that! Thanks!
Looks scrumptious! I’ll do it.
Keep us posted how it turns out 🙂
I use Renne’s salad dressing . Garlic lover’s kind. Work’s great as cheese and herbs are all in!
Ooooo, yum! Do you mix it in the mayonnaise? That sounds great!
Does the flavor stay on the skin or does it cook thru? Can you remove the skin or will it dry out?
Made this today, I was looking for something different for my family, as we love chicken, but I get bored. I had some HUGE chicken breasts, they were about a pound each, so I cut them into smaller pieces, and did this. We all loved it. It was so juicy! I have trouble eating dry meat, so it was perfect for me! I will have to try with the Greek Yogurt, but with the Mayonnaise it was really amazing! Thank you.
Phyllis, I used boneless skinless breasts and it wasn’t dry at all. I don’t eat skin, so I went with my normal chicken. It was amazing!!! You don’t need the skin.
Yea! So glad you enjoyed this! I love how moist the chicken stays and the flavor it has!! Definitely yummy!!
So glad you enjoy this recipe as much as I do! Its definitely a family favorite!
Could you post recipe for pasta featured in dish?
Hi! That is actually just spaghetti noodles cooked to al dente, drained, and then some butter, garlic cloves, and Parmesan cheese sprinkled on top! Delicious and simple 🙂
I hate websites like yours that when I find a recipe that I like, I have to sign up or go to the other links; why not give us a chance to just print it. Disgusted with websites like yours that do not provide this option. Thank you for listening to my rave.
I just put my foot in mouth; I found the link for printer friendly. Sorry about the rave.
So glad you found the print button!! Enjoy the recipes and have a great day!!

I can’t tell if the chicken breast has skin or not. Is it boneless and skinless, or just boneless with skin?
Just added you to our mailing list! Welcome to the page!
I use boneless, skinless chicken breasts, 🙂
Thank you
No problem 🙂 Enjoy!
Can this be done without an oven ! I dont use one !
Hmmm, I have never tried to make it in anything other than an oven, but it would work good in a slow cooker as well!!
Love your recipes. Would u add me to your
mailing list?
I have yet to have tried a bad recipe from you My husband is always saying, “is this another new recipe?” And I can confidently say yes knowing that he will like yet another one. Man you are making me look like such a pro in the kitchen. Thx
Just added you! Welcome to the page!! 🙂
Awwww, I am so glad you enjoy the recipes! You are the pro in the kitchen as it is you making the meals 😉 Great job!!
please add me to your mailing list. OMG so good.
Ill add you right now 🙂
Made this tonight, it was awesome, even my picky eater (son)had some and liked it. Thank you…
Interesting web site!!
So glad you enjoyed it! And even better that your son enjoyed it too!! 🙂
Thanks!!
Like it! Please put me on your mailing list!!
Just added you! Welcome to the page 🙂
I was wondering when you put it in slow cooker, do you put it on high and will it take just 6 hours? (im still getting used to the crockpot)
I haven’t tried it in the slow cooker, however, if the chicken is frozen, high for 6 hours should be great. If the chicken is thawed, I would do 4 hours 🙂
Ooo, sounds so yummy! Think I may try this out for a dinner this week.
Keep me posted how it turns out!! 🙂
375 F or C?
F, sorry 🙂
Would u ad me to your list please? I did this with boneless pork chops yummy!
Adding you right now! Welcome to the page! Great idea trying this with pork chops, I will have to remember that!!
Recipe was delicious! But for the cheese lovers I added 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella to the mix.
Glad you enjoyed it and great suggestion!!!
i will definitely try this, it sounds delicious! Also I may try some Indian spices in the yogurt, like turmeric, chili and cumin, maybe even some garam masala.!!
Oh yum!!! Great idea!!
Has anyone tried this with “Light” Mayo like Hellman’s Light Mayonnaise? I fear there will not be enough Oil in it to make this dish as juicy. I think the flavor of Mayo would be better than the yogurt for this dish, but the FAT in mayo raises the calories by 50%
I just tried this with the light mayo last night since it was all I had on hand. It was delicious. It did change the flavor up slightly, but was still a hit with my family!!
This is extremely good I fed this to my family and they loved it so much and said they wanted me to cook for them from now on thank you so much!
Yea!! So glad they enjoy this! I love how moist the chicken is!!
Hey Chris,
What kind of fish did you broil and how long did you broil it for?
Would it work on Cod or trout?
Cant wait to try this. I’m on Atkins and it looks like Zero carbs.
Let me know what you think of it once you try it! This is quite tasty!!
I have heard people have tried this using both cod, trout, tilapia, etc. I have never tried it, but I am sure it is delicious!!
Sounds good, but isn’t 45 minutes a long time for boneless, skinless chicken breasts?
Just depends on the size/thickness of the chicken. The chicken breasts I use are quite thick, so it takes longer, however, I have used smaller ones and it only takes about 30 minutes. 🙂
what are some options for side dishes with this chicken?
I typically serve salad and a veggie with this dinner 🙂
trying this for dinner, thanks for the recipe. we eat a lot of ch. breast so i’ll give it a try based on everyone’s responses.
Keep me posted how it turns out! It was such a hit in my family that it is on the meal plan again tomorrow night, hehe!!
How would it work with chicken thighs? i dont have boneless chicken breasts. I really want to do it but not sure how it would be different with chicken thighs.
It should work just great, you may just need to adjust the cooking time a bit. Keep me posted if you try it!!
Cooked last night used lite mayo, big hit so adding to regular meal plans. Quick prep, cook and clean-up a plus. Thank you for the new recipe.
Yea!!! So glad it was a hit!! It is definitely a “go to” meal in my home 🙂
Hi Kristin, can you add me to your list!? Thanks for the recipe. Check out my website if you get the chance, you might find a new recipe or two to try!
Karen
Sure!! I am adding you to my mailing list right now!! I’ll definitely check out your website, I love new recipes! 🙂
The first thing I thought when taking a bite of this was that it should be in a 5 star restaurant! I use Vegenaise in place of mayo. It tastes the same but is free of soy,egg,gluten. My wife came home from work late and said she wasn’t hungry until she took a bite of this and then she started eating some of my portion as well:)
Hehe, that is great!! I am so glad you both enjoyed it! Great idea on using Vegenaise in place of the mayo!
Kristin, Could you please add my husband to your list.
Rick Milne 1papamilne@gmail.com
Sounds delightful and no more dry chicken breasts will try very very soon please add me to your mailing list.
Sure!! I am adding him right now!! 🙂
It definitely is!! Keep me posted if you try it!! I am adding you to our mailing list right now 🙂
can’t wait to try this chicken
Keep me posted if you try it 🙂
Would love to be added to your mailing list.
Just added you to the list!! Welcome to the page!! 🙂
Given the religion at the top of the page, are those the only people allowed to use this recipe???
No, not at all. I simply share my own beliefs, but I do not push them on others. Anyone and everyone is allowed to use these recipes and be on the page. I have lots of family friendly recipes, so be sure to look around and let me know if you try any!!
Thanks and have a great week!!
My chicken is usually dry, so I will be trying this recipe soon. QUESTION:::Can you use this recipe with bone in chicken? Thanx!
Keep me posted how it turns out!! As for using bone in chicken, that should work great!!
you can use light mayo….trust me when I say Mayo is the key for tender chicken especially over night and on the grill
Trying this tonight loos and sounds so yummy.
Try using Mazritha cheese and browned butter and garlic on your pasta next time.
Grate some cheese to mix in then sprinkle some on top.
Great suggestion!! I never thought to grill this, I bet that would be great!!!
Oooooo, you are making me hungry now haha! I will definitely try that! Thanks!
Printer friendly should not include 146 comments. Fourteen pages of comments. I recommend copy and paste!
my husband doesn’t like mayo ,however this recipe sounds delicious. can a person tell if mayo (salad dressing) was used. (taste)
thank you
You could try the Greek yogurt if you prefer? It works just as good!!
I notice that you call for boneless chicken. Is it also skinless? I ask because in the photo it looks like the skin may be on, but I’ve never seen chicken sold boneless WITH skin.
Thanks! (And I love the verses at the top of your page.)
Hi!!! I use boneless, skinless chicken breasts in this recipe 🙂 The “skin” you are seeing is probably just the mayonnaise coating on top that browned up a bit 🙂
Glad you enjoy the verses!!
If you are using smaller breasts do you still use the same amount of coating?
You can use as much as desired, I typically just spread it on until its a nice even layer, and there is a little bit leftover of the coating 🙂
frlivious and easy Add me to your mailing list Thank you
Adding you right now!! Enjoy!!
BLESS YOU FOR GIVING US THIS MARVELOUS RECIPE , IT IS FABULOUS.
Awww, I am glad you enjoy the recipe!! Take care <3
Great recipe. Have made this 2 nights in a row. Last night was with chicken and tonight was with pork chops. Just added a bit of italian breadcrumbs on top
Enjoyed both of them
So glad you enjoyed it!!!
This looks so good!! But fyi, my daughter and I are both lactose intolerant and I have found that coconut milk is a great alternative in recipes like this. I buy the can of full fat coconut milk and before opening shake vigorously for about a full minute and when you open it it is thick and creamy!! It works really great and since it has no real flavor of it’s own, like tofu it takes on the flavor of whatever you use it with! I will not however give up my cheese!!
This definitely is tasty! Great suggestion on using coconut milk, I love being able to have substitution ideas for meals!! I am with you on the “no giving up cheese” thought, hehe!!
Did you use full chicken breasts for this or halves? Going to make this tonight maybe… Looks so yummy!!!
I used full chicken breasts in this recipe, but I know of a lot of people that have used halves, thighs, diced chicken, etc. Hope you enjoy it!!
Trying it now….. have to make myself behave….I want to put a full cup of Parmesan…..we love cheese….
LOL!! That is exactly how I am too!! Hope you enjoyed this!!!
This was a Great dish. Loved it! I have one question, was the mayo/ cheese spread suppose to be crispy or was it suppose to be a nice spread b/c either way it was moist & flavorful spread. Thanks for sharing this delicious recipe.
It spreads nicely and covers the entire chicken, however, it does get a slight crisp to it once baked! Glad you enjoyed it!!!
After reading the reviews….I decided to try this…it was very good..served it with rice..I did lower the salt content..other than that followed the recipe…Thanks
For anyone who is wondering 375 F is 190 C
Thanks for conversion 🙂
Yea!! Glad you enjoyed this recipe, it is definitely a favorite of my family’s!
I made this for dinner tonight and while I liked the tangy taste to it, I thought it was way too salty. As I added the salt to the yogurt and cheese, I knew it was going to be too much for me. I think if I make it again, I will cut down on the salt–maybe use 1/2 tsp instead of 1.5 tsp’s.
Great idea, you can adjust that according to your preferences for sure!! 🙂
Any recommendations on which brand of Greek yogurt works best? There’s quite a different flavor between brands…some are more tart, sour, or chalky than others.
try adding mccormick smokehouse maple gives the chicken a sweet smokie taste my friends love it and asked me for the recipes so i just gave them this site and told them what i added to it
I typically use Chobani Greek yogurt in this recipe if I don’t use the mayonnaise 🙂
Great idea! I will try that this week, sounds amazing! Thanks!!
This is hands down, the absolute most scrumptious chicken recipe ever!!! Love love love!!!!
Yea! So glad you enjoy it! It is a favorite of mine as well!!
No worries about the guy who had adult toy adds pop up. The add blocks call up advertisements from his cookies according to websites that were surfed from his computer. Too funny.
This sounds delish, plan to make this ,as it is only the two of us since all of our children are gone, and living lives of their own.Thank you for thinking of others.
Enjoy! Let me know what you think!!
all the coating fell of the chicken. anyone know why
What kind of mayonnaise did you use in the recipe? Or did you use yogurt?
Cant wait to try this, it looks absolutely yummy!
please add me to your mailing list
Keep me posted on what you think of it!! Enjoy!!
Adding you right now!!! Welcome to the page 🙂
This is the best recipe for chicken. I actually fried mine in a butter/olive oil mix then kept it warm in the oven while I cooked up some roma tomatos in white wine, added a small amout of flour to thicken and served the chicken over the tomatos and spooned a litte sauce over the top. My man swears he HATES manyonaise but asks me to make this often. Thank you for the recipe
sorry, I didn’t mean to be anonymous 🙂
Isn’t this just a small variation on the recipe that is on the back of jars of Hellman’s Mayo? [I think the only variation is the garlic salt.]
Yea!!! So glad it was a hit! I love the quick prep and flavor of this recipe!!
Hmmm, I am not sure? I haven’t ever seen that recipe, I got this one from my mom. If it is, it sure is yummy, hehe!
It lovely and creamy juicy everything it combine…thanx for you recipe
Glad you enjoy it!!
I make this but one thing you missed on your recipe is that after spreading the mayo mixed with Parmesan cheese you are suppose to put bread crumbs on top …. but the best kind to use for this recipe is Panko breadcrumbs. Without the Panko breadcrumbs, all you will taste is the mayo. YUCK!
This recipe was from Kraft Foods and like I said everything you wrote in the ingredients is fine, but you missed the Panko….. for those that didn’t like this, make it again but use breadcrumbs after spreading on the mayo and Parmesan. I guarantee you will like it.
Great addition for sure! I have made it both ways and love them both!
Can you use frozen chicken or should it be thawed?
Thawed would be easier to work with since it cooks more evenly, however, if frozen, just increase the cooking time 🙂
I’ve been making this for years but I use Miracle Whip and I put the Miracle Whip on the entire chicken breast and then cover them with bread crumbs. It’s my son’s favorite way for me to cook chicken.
Oh yum!! It sure is an easy, great recipe! My kids go crazy over it too!
I made this recipe this evening. Not only was it simple to make, but I loved the fact that all the ingredients needed, I already had on hand! The result turned out phenomenal! The chicken was moist and the coating is what made the meal extremely tasty! My family also went back for seconds! Made it that much worth it to make. Will definitely makes again. Thank you for posting!
Awwww, so glad you enjoyed it!!
I pound the chicken breasts down so they are thin, put the oven on 400, and bake for 15 minutes. Comes out completely cooked and moist. Sometimes I use honey mustard instead of mayo, gives it a bit of a kick.
Oooooo, sounds delicious! I’ll need to try the honey mustard idea next time!!
Looks amazing. I will try it.
You’ll love this!! Let me know how it turns out 🙂
Already do this recipe. It is on my jar of Hellmanns Mayo.
Glad you enjoy it! It was a recipe I found in my family cookbook, always fun to see where they originate from though 🙂
do you think you could use buttermilk and seasonings – perhaps a ranch dressing effect?
Hey Debra, I have tried using ranch and it is delicious! Here is the recipe I made, https://thecookinchicks.com/2015/08/ranch-chicken-bake/
Has anyone tried this on pieces of chicken – mainly legs and thighs? Sounds like it would be very good
I have heard from a few people that they used legs/thighs and it turned out great!! Enjoy!!
It was so delicious!!!!
So glad you enjoyed it!! <3
Have baked this numerous times and can’t seem to get enough of this great taste!! It does melt in your mouth and is so easy.
So glad you enjoy it! Its a favorite in my house for sure!
That was the worse chicken I ever made..Very greasy even cut down on the mayo and added 1 cup of Parmesan cheese but it sat in a pool of oil and no one in my family could even eat it…I ended up throwing it all away..What a waste. I will never make it again and advise no one else to..sorry but I had to let you know the truth
Yikes, sounds like it wasn’t a hit. Sorry about that, I am not sure what would’ve happened as I make this frequently and never had that problem. What type of mayo did you use? Sorry it wasn’t yummy for you guys!
This is my new go to chicken recipe! I add a little hot sauce for some extra kick and it makes it extra delicious! Thanks for sharing!
Ooooo, I love the idea of adding some hot sauce. I think I will try that tonight for dinner! Thanks for the suggestion!
How long should i leave it in the oven??
Until chicken is cooked through, so about 30 minutes or so, depending on thickness of chicken breasts
When using a crockpot, should I add a bit of water into the bowl as well as the chicken and toppings to keep it from overcooking?
I’ve actually never tried this recipe in the slow cooker. I would think that adding a bit of chicken broth, maybe 1/4 cup, would be best though!!
Can I make this in a toaster oven. I live alone and hate using the big oven for one chicken breast?
Hmmm, good question. Which cook settings do you have for your toaster oven? I have seen some that have cook settings similar to the oven such as temperature. If that’s the case, then yes. As long as the chicken gets cooked through, I don’t see why that wouldn’t work. Keep me posted if you try it!
What is the pasta recipe?
Hehe, I hate admitting this, but the pasta is actually just melted butter and Parmesan over spaghetti noodles. Basic, but something my kids go crazy over, hehe!!
Do you use grated or shreddedp parmesan
Either one works great, I typically have grated on hand more often, so I use that, but both work!!
This is my next go to chicken recipe.Substituted 1 tsp. minced garlic, tsp. Bay Seasoning, 2 tsp. dried dill, 1 tsp. curry powder, and black pepper. Hubby doesn’t like parmesan cheese on his chicken. Tasted the mayo mix (used our favorite Dukes Mayo) and it was sooooo good. Can’t wait until the chicken is done. Used half a bag of frozen chicken tenders. Dredged each tender in the mayo mix to be sure every piece was nicely coated, then placed in my cast iron dutch oven. I didn’t have parmesan, seasoned salt, or garlic powder. So this is the reason for substitutes. Made my own seasoned salt (w/dill and curry powder). Thank you for sharing.
Oh yum! I love all the changes you made, I will have to remember that for next time!!
Has anyone used sour cream? Or a combination of the 3-mayo, plain yogurt & sour cream? Just a thought…:)
I have only tried using both yogurt and mayo in this recipe, but don’t see why sour cream wouldn’t work as well! If you try it, be sure to keep me posted how the end result is! I always have sour cream on hand, so that would be a great alternative to use!
Will try it on the grill
Great idea, keep me posted how it turns out!
I was just wondering What would be best as for the cheese; grated in the container of real and shredded?…
The chicken was to salty I did not add any either!! Would not try again!
Honestly, both work equally well, but I tend to use the grated a bit more since it blends into the mixture a bit easier and I always have it on hand!
Bummer you didn’t enjoy it! Sometimes the mayo is a bit salty in this, so you can try the Greek yogurt next time if desired!!
If I use a slow cooker do I have to put water in it and can I use garlic salt instead of powder?
A huge hit a family dinner Saturday nite. Even the (sometimes) picky g’daughter LOVED it. A green salad, garlic bread & a fresh fruit salad made the dinner healthy & complete. The chicken was moist & tender. We had the leftovers for a cold lunch on Sunday.
Tripled the mayo mix so plenty left over for another meal later this week. The mayo mix is a great base for many of the suggested substitutions. Think I’ll add the green chilis for dinner with the hubby.
Added bread crumbs the last 15 minutes for a crunch I knew my fam would love. Gonna use the yogurt next time.
This is an easy addition to the rotation.
Yea!! I am so glad you enjoyed it!!
I add a teaspoon of Italian bread crumbs on top. Gives a little crunch!
Great idea!
Do you think 2 breasts will take 45 minutes?
Slice half way through chicken breast, put in your favorite dressing recipe, then top with the mayo recipe…WOW! Serve with mashed potatoes & gravy & cranberry sauce…great meal
Depends on the thickness of the breasts, start keeping an eye on them after about 30 minutes!
Great idea! I will have to remember that for next time, thanks!
I’ve been waiting to try this recipe and when the time came I just so happened to have left over Knorrs spinich dip in the fridge which contains mayo. It was fabulous.
Yea!! So glad you enjoyed it!
Made this tonight and it was a hit with the family. Delicious ?
Yea! So glad you enjoyed it!!
I am curious what kind of pasta that is to go with it?
I use spaghetti, but rotini and penne work great too!! Even egg noodles! It depends on preference!
I would add about 1/4 cup water if chicken is thawed. If chicken is frozen, no need to use additional water! As for garlic salt, no problem, just don’t add any additional salt as it may be a bit much. Hope you enjoy!!
The first recipe that I saw looked so great, I thought, “More! I need to see more!” Looking forward to more of your goodies! Thanks!
Hope you enjoy the recipes! Be sure to keep me posted what you think of the ones you try!!
A lovely dish. I baked it last night, after making a pocket and inserting a rasher of bacon. I also mixed the parmesan with Monterray Jack. It melted in my mouth! Thank you, and could you include me in your blog please?
Great tweaks to the recipe! Glad you enjoyed it! I have added you to the mailing list! Enjoy!!!
Parmesan cheese is loaded with salt, and mayonnaise does too. No need for extra salt.
You can definitely omit! Enjoy!
Made this tonight; used a combination (half & half) mayo and Greek yogurt; added a tsp of Dijon mustard, a few shakes Worcestershire and some hot sauce. I used a minimum of salt, but sprinkled the garlic powder and fresh ground pepper directly on the chicken; added a sprinkle of fresh grated Parmesan and some Italian seasoned bread crumbs (both sides); drizzled just a bit of olive oil over the top; baked them in my convection toaster oven at 375 for 30 min; then broiled for 5 to brown the top. My husband is very picky and hard to please and he loved this. I served it with arborio and black rice risotto with artichoke hearts. All very yummy and I’ll make this chicken again with varying treatments. Thank, Yummly and Cookin’ Chicks!
Oh yum! I love the variety you added to it!
Has anyone tried this with chicken leg quarters? I am tonight because I don’t have boneless skinless chicken breasts. I did take off the skin.
I haven’t tried that personally, but I have heard a few others who have say its delicious! Hope you enjoy!
I love this chicken have made it several times. I was reading the comments and might add a few bread crumbs. Please add me to your recipe list.
So glad you enjoyed it! I am adding you now, welcome to the page!
Please add me to your list, Kristin.
Thanks! 🙂
Will do, welcome to the page!
Has anyone made this with a slow cooker? If so, how long did it take / did you do anything differently? ?
I wonder how it would turn out if you coated the chicken in the sauce then coated with bread crumbs for an oven “fried” chicken?
Here is the slow cooker version I have made, enjoy!! https://thecookinchicks.com/2017/05/slow-cooker-melt-in-your-mouth-chicken/
Ooooo, that sounds like it would be great! Let me know if you try it and how it turns out!
If I double the recipe will the cooking time be longer?
I can’t wait to try it.
Thank you!
I have found that if you add about 5-10 minutes, that is perfect! Enjoy!
Going to try this tonight. Can’t wait to see how it turns out. Can you please add me to your list?
Hope you enjoyed it!! Adding you right now!
How would I adjust this for serving 8?
Double the recipe and you should be good to go! This serves about 4, so doubling would be great! Enjoy!
Gonna try making this tonight. My mom dislikes mayonnaise, so it’ll be interesting to see if she’ll like it or not. 🙂
Hmmmm, you can always use plain Greek yogurt in place of the mayo if desired? Hopefully she loves it! Its a favorite on the blog! Keep me posted!
Can you use another kind of cheese?
Depends on what type you’re wanting to use. You can, depending on type!
I have a big family, so would it work the same if I doubled or trippled the recipe?
Absolutely! I typically double it for leftovers! It’s great! Enjoy!!
Hi Kristin….

Hi Debra! Sure thing! Adding you right now! Hope you enjoy the recipes! Happy Easter!
can i freeze the cooked chicken
Sure, however, I don’t know how it would thaw because the sauce on top is mayo/dairy based and sometimes it doesn’t look very appealing once thawed. It is okay to do, but just don’t judge appearance, haha!
I know this sounds crazy but is there a substitute for parmesan cheese? My husband hates it and there are so many recipes (like melt in your mouth chicken) that I want to make but can’t.
You can also use Romano, Asiago, or Cojita cheese in this! It will change the flavor from the original, but still be just as yummy! Enjoy!
