It was a recipe I happened upon and I must tell y'all...it is the BEST chicken I have ever made in my life! It's called Parmesan Chicken Bake and it pleasantly reminds me of the chicken that Olive Garden uses on their Fettuccine dish. Divinity in the form of chicken...yes ladies and gents...it's that good.
Even more exciting than the great taste is the fact that it's extremely easy to make. The longest part is waiting for the chicken to cook. The sauce is very easy and you probably already have most of the ingredients in your pantry.
I'm usually a recipe hoarder...whenever someone asks me the recipe to an especially yummy dish I usually reply with a smug, "Ancient Chinese Secret", and then walk away. But this recipe is so divine that I have to share it with the world.
The name of the dish sort of implies that it's kind of like a casserole...it is not. It is simply a crust or a sauce which adds flavor. So make sure that you plan some veggies, pasta, or a salad to go on the side. I fixed a bag of the Green Giant Steamers Mixed Potatoes and Green beans in Rosemary Sauce. You can find it in the frozen veggie aisle at the grocery. Next time though, I think I'll make extra sauce and then serve the chicken over angel hair pasta. Mmmm!
Enjoy!
Parmesan Chicken Bake
6 chicken breasts
1 C light mayonnaise or Greek yogurt (I have done 1/2 of each as well)
1/2 c fresh Parmesan cheese, plus more for the top
1 1/2 tsp seasoning salt
1/2 tsp pepper
1 tsp garlic powder
1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees and spray the inside of a 9x13 glass pan. Lay the chicken inside the pan.
2. Mix together the remaining ingredients and spread evenly over each piece of chicken, being sure to cover all the exposed raw meat (so it doesn't dry out.) Sprinkle on a bit more fresh parmesan over all the chicken.
3. Bake for 45 minutes. This dish is even better the next day, so just reheat in the microwave!
Mmmmm!! Sounds Yummy - Definitely gona try. :-) (LUBAB!!)
